Jackie Shapiro launched her design career after
graduating from Parson's School of Design. Her first job
landed her in Italy, working for Milan's innovative
fashion house Fiorucci, where she began to develop her
bold and graphic, pop culture style. Returning to New
York, she began freelancing for Tommy Hillfiger, and
later went on to design for Itokin, one of Japan's
largest fashion manufacturers. Jackie began her own
children's fashion collection, "Izzy", known
for it's stylized mix of pattern and color, and featured
in top stores such as Henri Bendel's, Saks and Fred
Segal.
Mattel Inc. has commissioned Jackie's talents since
1997 for many of their Barbie products. She also works
closely with Cartoon Network's consumer products
division on the Power Puff Girls and Hi Hi Puffy Ami
Yumi brands. French
Bull, a contemporary melamine housewares brand and
Tepper Jackson, a pajama and bag collection, are
Jackie's most recent transition into designing for the
home and accessory markets. |
