Designer of the Day: Jac Vanek

     This young ruthless designer is full of life as well as extremely artistic ideas.  Jac Vanek is not only a designer but a painter, photographer, writer, movie director and a creator of fashion trends.  She gets most of her inspiration from the 90's grunge era, the armpit of fashion, instead of what she sees on the runway and in magazines.  To me, what makes this brand so interesting and unique is that it is a fusion of her personal artistic expression, along with the consciousness of what is going on during our generation.
