Profile
Since graduating from London’s CSM with a Masters in Fashion Design, NYC-based Jackie Mallon has worked in the fashion industry, first as a designer in Milan with Giorgio Armani and Moschino, then in the US as an educator, writer and illustrator. The luxury industry helped hone Jackie’s artistic skills and eye for detail, and she loves to sprinkle that runway magic in her work whether it be through watercolor sketches of guests at live events, creating an editorial image of a just-released luxury cosmetics line, capturing the charm of a bunch of tulips or hand lettering a treasured memento from a special day in her modern calligraphy style. Her clients include Prada, Stella McCartney, Nordstrom and Alice & Olivia. In the words of Oscar Wilde, “Spontaneity is a meticulously prepared art,” and Jackie works primarily by hand to maintain a fresh style. She also believes a hand-drawn image aligns with industry efforts to slow fashion down and be conscious of the human behind the creation.
