Jesse Louise Blankinship-Smith Fashion &Costume Work

About

I am a fashion and costume enthusiast/professional with interest in sustainability and vintage. I believe in drawing inspiration from the past but always looking forward. I have been enamored with clothing since I was a little girl in makeshift ruby slippers.

In 2010 I graduated with honors and a BS in Apparel Design and Merchandising from San Francisco State. I have completed two internships, one in fashion with Sea Showroom/Citizens of Humanity and one in costumes with California Shakespeare Theater.

My education and work experience have evolved my passion into skills and knowledge which I am eager to both utilize and build upon.

I love styling and design for both life and fiction. I feel that fashion and costume styling are both about fantasy, about creating a look that tells a story. I truly love telling stories with clothing.
