It was only a matter of time before Jenni spread the insanity. Instead of moody chiffon, her collection for Folded & Hung is beach-ready and style-heavy. "This collection is all about the three things I love: dressing-up women, the beach and classic films. I was very inspired by the classic movie High Society starring Grace Kelly. Her luxurious beach coverups and swimwear were breathtaking…very chic and expensive," she enthuses. "In those days, Hollywood was host to the biggest and most exciting pool parties – so glamorous beach coverups and swimwear were really part of a woman’s wardrobe. This collection can spice up any sunset soiree but without the bank-breaking prices of classic Hollywood’s high-society fashion."
Jenni Epperson is a staple in the fashion circuit. Loved for her easygoing attitude and approachable take on high fashion, Jenni takes the high road on bargain buys. This has been her trademark and this is what endears her to her fans and clients alike. It only makes sense that she partners up with the peeps from Folded & Hung for their summer collection. One that is at once modern and nostalgic. "My styling experience helped me a lot in developing this line. I chose the materials and accessories based on how I would style for a fashion show, or create a window display. It’s cohesive – not chopsuey," she says half-jokingly. "My Nip/Tuck skills from styling models, ‘real people’ and doing countless makeovers helped me realize what style denizens wanted. A little slit here, a little coverup there. Think of my coverups as Photoshop for those unwanted lady lumps," she adds. Indeed they were made for real women in mind. Jenni, herself a mother, knows that while Mother Nature can indeed play tricks on a woman’s body, ingenious design can flatter what is seen as flawed. "It’s perfect for eating chori-burgers!" she chirps. That is one of our favorite things to do on the beach.
With her high society gone hi-fi beach line, Jenni is already sketching out her next collection. I doubt if this will surprise you at all but this time it’s inspired by trophy wives.
