His Story
It's what we've been waiting for. It's the thought, the feeling that escapes us.
At the age of 19, Jordan Crowson attended the University of Arkansas where he studied costume design and apparel studies. In 2004 he single handedly created a 40 look haute couture collection for the debut of his fall/winter 2005 collection. The line was promoted through a series of charity events and trunk shows that established Jordan Crowson as Arkansas' premiere couturier and raised over $100,000 for the Susan G. Komen foundation in a single event. Today Jordan Crowson Haute Couture is a fully equipped atelier producing custom made clothing for a devoted private clientele.
In 2008 Jordan Crowson Haute Couture began working to expand into the ready-to-wear market. For this, Jordan ventured into mainland China in search of sourcing silk mills to produce his fall/winter 2009 collection. He wanted to work directly with the silk mills to achieve a higher quality standard. The fall/winter 2009 collection required fabrics that could carry a more voluminous shape moving away from the body to create new silhouettes. Jordan worked with the silk mills to produce double faced silk taffetas and double faced silk satins that would have the perfect weight to achieve a more architectural structure in the silhouette.
Whimsical, romantic - yet furied in a pursuit to draw her, Jordan Crowson is an artist among us. The 2009 collection is simply an outpouring of his determined call to live a beautiful life. Refreshingly original, Jordan meticulously maintains the integrity of his dreams by coupling a mind of romanticism and purely instinctual ability to feel the future before it happens. A 7th sense some would call it, whatever it is beauty is made of.
Unwavering in his ability to capture a kaleidoscope of inspiration - from frames in an old French film to the wind in trees - he is able to create what others only feel. His provocative subtleties speak ever so eloquently of memories, moments and a movement forward.
Arrestingly novel, this collection is the designer's homage to the regal sexuality and optimistic spirit of a time long passed so ready to be felt again in this newly hope filled moment. Imbibe and enjoy.
"The desire and longing
for a constant
evolving memory of the
past combined
with personal dreams and
hope for the
future forces an undying
need to feel
it on my own terms,
in my own vision."
-Jordan Crowson
