It only gets better with JF and Son.  Since launching their first Collection in 2007, charismatic design duo Jesse Finkelstein and Katie King have been presenting intelligent and modern collections using gorgeous embellishment and print techniques.  As fabric manipulation masters, a range of treatments are present from couture infused fabric treatments, innovative embellishment ideas, to a diverse range of dyeing techniques.  Not only do they run as their own fashion line, but they also own their own textile design firm called Project 1281. Rather than following trends, their pieces are intuitive and diligently thought out as with each garment a process is visible.  With this type of mindset, JF and Son are here to stay while creating their own trends.
