JENNIFER GRIFFEY-Fashion Design and Traffic Director

"Women are ever changing, adventurous creatures and need a wardrobe which reflects that. We wear many hats and put on many faces but underneath it all, women carry the belief that we're fabulous. My designs aim to release that glamorous and confident woman, bringing her to the surface and captivating those around her. Head turning, jaw-dropping, female empowering-fashion."
Jennifer Griffey shaped her design philosophy while studying at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California. An enthusiastic and dedicated designer, she spent every waking moment honing her craft and studying under some of the leading professionals in the industry of design. Most inspiring was her instructor and mentor for sewing and construction who worked under Vivienne Westwood and had a penchant for bold designs and couture techniques.

 
Jennifer discovered her passion and talent for eveningwear while studying at the Academy and earned a spot in the competitive Fashion Show in an attention grabbing segment showcasing fashion and jewelry collaboration. Partnering with jewelry Masters students and focusing on her love for couture and draped gowns, Jennifer created one of a kind dresses that garnered the attention of multiple periodicals and fashion reviewers along with a feature in upscale retail and downtown Union Square store window-fronts.
Her enthusiasm and talent caught the eye of global retailer, Abercrombie and Fitch, in 2009 and the company brought her on as a designer for women's tops at their home office in Columbus, Ohio.
After an exciting journey with the corporate retail brand and great success in her position, Jennifer decided to exit the company with expertise gained in production management and ready to wear design.
Jennifer was eager to return to her roots in eveningwear and couture and began designing upscale dresses for her three-year-old daughter, Valen. The "couture for girls" pieces turned into a brand titled Valen Haute Couture which Jennifer privately nurtures. After foraying into social media to market the brand, Jennifer realized the interest in her illustrations and began selling prints in local and online galleries inspired by her same driving fashion muse-the classic and glamorous female.
"I thought it flattering when my instructors would say I was perhaps a designer trapped in the old-world glamour and ideals of Chanel and Dior. I'm deeply inspired by the female form, by our ingenuity, our resilience and femininity. I want to design for a woman who knows her worth and exudes confidence and a strong sense of self-because when that woman is wearing the right dress, nothing can stop her and no one will forget her."
Jennifer's many opportunities and projects have led her to the Designer role at FASH' FOLIES GLAMOUR and the unique opportunity to contribute to this growing fashion brand that exudes glamour, sophistication and femininity. Jennifer also speaks French and she is based in Ohio, United States of America.
