Jillian Lewis

Costume designer, Ghostown (2010)

Jillian Lewis graduated from Parsons in 2003.  She worked as a designer for Ralph Lauren and later appeared on Bravo’s forth season of Project Runway. Jillian debuted her collection at Bryant Park and started her own fashion company in partnership with her fiancé, Lewaa Abdulkhalek.  It wasn’t until recently that Jillian began to revisit her first passion in life: Dance.  She costumed a performance for Works and Process at the Guggenheim and launched her own dancewear line.  Jillian’s understanding of a dancer’s needs for movement and functionality drove her to create the wardrobe for Ghostown with the assistance of Elizabeth Asher.  The way the materials float, the play on transparency and shape, and the various tones of nudes and grays have created the illusion of invisibility.
