The Jesse Kamm collection was first presented in the Spring of 2006. It all began with a twist of fate. Sewing and printing dresses for herself, stylists and other artists became quick fans of Jesse's intricate textile designs. High end boutiques around the globe began placing orders for a collection that did not quite yet exist, and the press was quick to follow.
Today, Jesse strives to create moving works of art with her beautiful limited edition pieces. The defining characteristic of her collections is that Jesse not only designs the garments, but also creates all of the drawings that make up the textile designs. Each piece is hand printed and numbered as a part of a limited collection.
It is hard to imagine that Jesse is a one-girl -show. Working from her Los Angeles studio, Jesse is adamant about keeping production numbers low and originality and craftsmanship high. Jesse travels around the world seeking ispiration, from the rainforests of Panama to the streets of Paris. Surrounded and supported by her group of friends, which includes talented painters, photographers, musicians, sculptors, and other artists, Jesse feels inspired and fortunate on a daily basis.
