Jenni LeeJenni Lee

Jenni Lee was the fashion director of Antenna, an award-winning men’s fashion and lifestyle magazine, and a stylist for advertising, television, and print and online media. She has worked with celebrities and musical acts like Ben Affleck, Mos Def, Death Cab for Cutie, Scarlett Johansson, and Paramore; her corporate and editorial clients include Atlantic Records, Bloomingdale’s, Diesel, Harpers Bazaar, Heineken, and Sony.

A native of Venice Beach, California, Lee grew up in Texas and in South Florida, where her grandmother bred in her a fashion sense and savvy through their regular thrift-store outings. But she began her career in film, eventually finding her way into fashion through her work in costuming. This experience led to a position as touring stylist
for musician Lauryn Hill, which, in turn, led to more styling work. In her spare time, Lee created a line hand-embroidering shirts, which sold in fashion-forward Lower East
Side and Meatpacking District boutiques. Lee is currently based in Brooklyn.
