J.LO 1st Leather collection 2001

J.Lo really loved the laser cut floral perforation.  In 2001 it was still quite a new technique for leather.  Used in the logo for the cropped bomber above.   It was bonded to a flesh colored organza in the pants to give it strength and a secret modesty.
Three different leathers were used in this laced front, low rise boot cut pant in cold dyed blue suede and stretch waistband.
Trying to find a fit model to fit to the measurements of Jennifer Lopez wasn't easy.  Then one evening, I was lucky enough to find a curvy beauty walking past me when I began the project.  She turned out to be a Miss Colombia, Diana Figueroa.  
This was a special antiqued suede to in indigo and in black with a stretch backing.  As was her stage costumes, so did she want her garments to fit.  This jean jacket interpretation was edited down from mink fur lined to a basic suede unfortunately.
Jennifer wanted so badly to use furs but the partners had other plans for the brand direction.  When it became too expensive, I decided to take my ideas and reinterpret them into what would become my first company, JUNE.
