My name is Jessica and I grew up in the good ol' state of New Jersey. I am the sole designer, patternmaker, seamstress, photographer, and model for Poofhawk Clothing. Growing up I was never satisfied with clothing in stores, and frankly was too poor to buy anything that wasn't in a thrift store. So as an early teen I starting ripping up my clothes, safety pinning them and trying to look different then everyone else. But, as I grew up, I decided fashion design was my calling. So, I studied at The Art Institute of Phildadelphia for 3 years and I'm now working on finishing my last year to recieve my Bachelor's Degree. 

 

I'm contantly inspired by art, horror movies, rockabilly and psychobilly music, the 50's era, pirates and many different other things.

 

I know what your probably asking yourself: Where in the world did I come up with the name Poofhawk? High school is about the time when I started to really get into rockabilly and psychobilly music. I had a great fascination with the 50's and Brian Setzer from the Stray Cats. Because of this, for my senior picture, I tried to imitate Brian Setzer's hairstyle without cutting off my hair.A close friend of mine came up to me and started pondering. He said, "Hmm, this is not a Mohawk, this is not a Fohawk......I know, this is a Poofhawk!"...I loved it! I knew this was going to be the name of my clothing brand in the future.
