My Story: Jean Marie

"Fashion you can buy, but style you possess. The key to style is learning who you are, which takes years. There's no how-to road map to style. It's about self expression and, above all, attitude." —Iris Apfel

Allll about Jean Marie and ME!

Hi, I’m Elli-Jean Russell, the founder of Jean Marie.

Getting here wasn’t easy, but I couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead. I’ve had an eye for fashion for as long as I can remember (if you ask my mom, she’ll confirm). I’ve always styled things my own way, matching optional, and somehow, that turned into a vision worth sharing.

I really started to see the potential of my creativity in my senior year of high school, and with the constant support of friends and family, that idea slowly became something real. When things felt impossible, that support kept me going.

Jean Marie is about more than clothes. It’s about building community, helping people feel good in what they wear, and encouraging individuality. Sustainability is a huge part of that for me; I’ve been sewing and upcycling pieces since high school, refining my skills and designs along the way, which is why re-loved pieces will always have a place here.

The journey included COVID, college, and a lot of life in between, but it all led me right here... finally sharing what I love most with you.

Welcome to Jean Marie 🤍

Every month I will share more of my journey and tips & tricks with you through my newsletter.
