Her collaboration with Simon Kneen on the design for the Banana Republic\/Mad Men Collection in August 2011 was so well-received that the company launched a second collection. Bryant has also added to her commercial appeal by helping create a Fabric Care Guide in conjunction with her role as Brand Spokesperson for the Downy Wrinkle Releaser brand.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from having received critical acclaim for designs, in person Bryant charmed the intimate audience with her tales of growing up in the south, sharing her formative experiences&#8211; watching movies like \u2018Gone with the Wind,\u2019 her parents reluctance to support her creative endeavors, the plight of unpaid interning, the complexities of living in New York and finally to her move to LA.\u00a0 In the end there was a silver lining that comes with hard work and persistence. It was reassuring to see the successful end-game of her struggles as an aspiring member of the fashion community. \u00a0I appreciated her openness and ability to relate to her audience.\u00a0 This ability to exchange herself with others is probably a contributing factor in her ability to accurately design the look and psyche of disparate points in history.<\/p>\n<p>Bryant, generous with her time and honest in her assessment of the industry, gave us students a much-needed pep talk &#8212; for me personally at least; a student trying to navigate her way through the matrix of fashion on her own terms.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8212; When Bryant is not busy dressing the cast of Mad Men, Bryant is occupied designing capsule collections for QVC, Maidenform and Nailtini. And currently resides, with her husband and dog, in Los Angeles. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Sarah Wheeler, Fashion Publishing Parsons students and faculty recently had the pleasure of hosting guest speaker Janie Bryant at&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11124,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
