End Clothing x Rosie Viva

As a model, activist, filmmaker and author, Rosie Viva has many talents in her repertoire, but it is her honesty and authenticity that have proven to be among her greatest assets. Having been diagnosed with bipolar disorder in her early 20s following a psychotic episode that found her hospitalised for three months, Rosie has worked towards her own understanding of her condition through her various creative pursuits. Creating the documentary Modelling, Mania and Me for Channel 4 in 2023, she shone a light on an often-misunderstood mental health condition, chronicling her moments of hypomania and deep depression to deliver a candid and deeply affecting portrayal of living with bipolar that sought to distigmatise through cathartic expression.
