Meet Jeanne
A quintessential New Yorker through and through, Jeanne was born and raised in New York. She began her academic journey at NYU and continued on to graduate school at Fordham University. It was during this time that she discovered her true passion: the dynamic and ever-evolving world of fashion.
For over two decades, Jeanne played an integral role at the renowned Jeff Cohan Showroom, where she oversaw vendor relations and private label sales. Her work connected her with top retailers and specialty stores across the country, building a reputation for professionalism, insight, and a keen eye for product.
When Jeff retired, Jeanne took a leap of faith and launched her own venture. Continuing to represent key collections from the showroom, she built the successful business she runs today—one that thrives on strong relationships and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
Jeanne’s passion lies in discovering and championing emerging designers, expertly merchandising seasonal collections, and curating the right product mix for her clients. Her approach is collaborative and deeply strategic, blending creative vision with a solid understanding of retail realities.
At the heart of Jeanne’s business is a simple belief: success in fashion comes from mastering the business of the fashion business—and that means working closely with both brands and buyers to ensure the perfect product finds the right home.
