Menswear designer Jhane Barnes talks Star Trek, Secret Japanese Technology, and Fashion
May 21st, 2009
Jhane Barnes designs men’s sportswear, casual, and tailored clothes. Besides menswear, she also designs eyewear, textiles, furniture, carpets, and more. She was recently on NOVA to talk about how she uses fractals in her designs.
I recently visited Jhane’s design offices in New York, and we talked about being a fashionable nerd, fractals, secret Japanese factories, and Star Trek.
Show notes:
In the second half of the podcast, she shows me her top-of-the-line shirt, titled Dentrite. See it here.
Jhane’s website is JhaneBarnes.com. I also mentioned her slightly hidden outlet store, which is called JBXtras.com, where you can pick up extras and last-season’s items at a discount.
