About me: Stranquist. EST. 1989 by artist and fashion designer Jean Stranquist.
With a sound background in the apparel industry and theater, training with the International leather designer Marc Buchanan of Pelle Pelle in Detroit, then moving to California in 1979. Over the years entertainers and a number of musicians have worn Stranquist Designs including Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones. Clothing for films in Los Angeles, private label couture for several high-end designers and Opera’s June Anderson's performances at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center.
Focusing attention to detail, fabrication and silhouettes, Stranquist has created a unique look for Stranquist Clothing Design Studio. Drawing from her eye as an artist and sculptor, she combines technical aspects in apparel design together with other art disciplines.
Stranquist continues today in her Studio, designing and making couture influenced clothing for today: in-house productions, work with private clientele, design commissions, and ready to wear styles which can be viewed by appointment.
