Jeanie Hunter :: My Story
Creative Director
Creating fashion has run in my veins since I was a little girl , with very early childhood memories of cutting up fabric scraps and hand sewing new clothes for my dollies and innately understanding patterns and garment construction from my early teens without ever having been taught. I experienced wonderful fashion success and accolades during secondary education and a vibrant career in fashion beckoned me however ..... growing up in a strict catholic household where " Fashion & Beauty " was classified under VANITY , seen as frivolous, superfluous and irrelevant beyond the basic " clothes on your back " kinda thing..... lets just say I was hard pressed to obtain guidance and family support into a career in the Fashion industry.
I would learn over the next few decades, as I persistently tried and failed to lean into my true purpose and identity as a Fashion Designer and endeavor to build a business around this ..... that I would first have to unpack the conditioning I had absorbed surrounding the " Fashion & Beauty " industry through family values and Catholic doctrines.
I am absolutely CERTAIN........ EVERY woman can relate to the inner dialogue based on societies programming when she is choosing an outfit ...... too short, too revealing, too tight, too sexy , too fancy, too plain ,,, too casual, a concoction of rules , regulations and harsh judgements filtering your fashion choices.
So for me to have value on the fashion I was creating and my contribution into the fashion industry has taken an enormous amount of inner work reprogramming all those years of religious background noise ...... that my contribution of creativity was worthy of a place in your wardrobe. Realizing how deeply it had effected me in such a profound way as a Fashion Designer and inhibited my ability for so many years to truly EMBRACE my natural ability and unique design talents and use them to create these beautiful timeless pieces of fashion for women has gifted me the knowledge and experience to now gracefully nurture other women through and past these limiting beliefs and into a delicious empowered space of embracing :: loving and joyfully expressing their unique beauty and style through fashion in all its exquisiteness.
