I have several friends from several different states who have worked with Jessica Rowell of J-Chans Design, and these individuals will not ever work with here again! They had contracted her to do some costuming for them and where given a product that was cheaply thrown together and even in some incidents not finished, when Jessica had several weeks to finish the design! In one case my friend showed me that there where pins still holding the peace together, and how they found this out is that they put it on and the pin stuck them causing them to bleed. She has designed for clients, that have paid in full and the garment needed alterations and she never gave back the garment back to them, even thought it had been paid in full.
Jessica Rowell of J-Chans Design also claims to be a make-up artist and hair dresser. Jessica has no formal education or degree in Design, or Garment Construction, Hair Styling or Make Artist. She does not even qualify to be a Seamstress in most cases.
Jessica of J-Chans Design has been witnessed applying make-up to a model using her bare fingers. She use extensions and bought objects to build sloppy head pieces and calls that Hair Design.
Speaking to several Photographers, Models and collaborating Hair Designers and Make-Up Beauticians in L.A.ca., Denver, CO., Hollywood, CA., and Pueblo, CO. And they all have commented on the same issue! Jessica is constantly late to shoots with no explanation. Even after confirming shoot time and location weeks in advance.
I have spoken entertainers that have said that they would be waiting for there costume and she would show up 15 min before show time, with there costume.
Jessicas store and business runs out of her mother and fathers house in the basement. Jessica still lives at home. Jessicas mom or friends need to shuttle here to shoots and events, this may explain the constant tardiness!
I work all over the nation as a choreographer, and Im a licensed beautician in seven states and have worked with Photographers such as David Lachapelle and Designers such as the late Alexander McQueen, and have never crossed paths with Jessica Rowell of J-Chans Design, and never will she be allowed on one of my sets.
I have written and posted this to rip off report and to my blog! And emailing to my friends in the fashion industry! In hopes that people will learn to ask questions, do some investigation before you dive into a professional relation ship a so called designer.
