Sophistication, feminine style and beauty are within the extraordinary work of January Hart Designs. January’s clothing for girls is so hot right now, her designs are highly prized by their owners. We think the future for January Hart Designs is a Bright one. When asked where her inspirations come from January says “My love of anything and everything vintage is what inspires me the most when designing. I really enjoy interpreting the glamor and sophistication of the ‘Old Hollywood’ days in a fresh and modern way for girls. For me, it’s in the subtleness of the details like cut, texture, color scheme and fit that really make a design so special to own. These are the types of elements that I’m continuously striving toward in a design.”
