New Member Jessi Sheehan Helps Chicago’s Fashion Industry “Evolve”

A Chicago native, Jessi Sheehan’s passion for fashion began at a young age when she would change her clothes four-to five times each day to be certain her look was perfect for every occasion.  Today, she holds a certificate in Apparel Merchandising and Fashion Design from Indiana University and is an accomplished personal and editorial stylist having worked for the industry’s who’s who, such as Jillian Lewis of Project Runway.

Jessi recently moved back to her hometown of Chicago after a year in New York City and founded Evolve in January 2012, which specializes in a variety of services from closet organization to complete wardrobe styling for women and men, as well as personal styling for weddings and other special events.  Her talents are also sought by fashion-forward leaders including Harper’s Bazaar and Liz Claiborne. 

Jessi is excited about getting involved in FGI-Chicago and hopes to collaborate with local boutiques, photographers and designers to help Chicago’s fashion scene evolve to international esteem.

Jessi’s fashion “must have” this summer:  White skinny jeans.  She suggests pairing them with a boyfriend  tee or sheer silk blouse.

Jessi’s fashion words of wisdom:  Don’t take all trends so literal.  Take what you see and make it your own.
