JHaus

JLynn Hausmann is a young and talented denim designer who launched a new brand called JHaus. Her fresh and progressive style is gaining attention by making tradition and setting trends. Hausmann credits her Midwest roots for the inspiration behind her collection and has developed a style that is uniquely her own which incorporates Americana motifs in a way that few other designers can.

JLynn attended the University of Nebraska in Lincoln but took the opportunity to study abroad in London and Paris. There she became increasingly exposed to and interested in fashion. JLynn pursued and obtained her master's degree in business administration in Arizona.

Raised on a farm and ranch, JLynn lived a less-is-more mentality. These genuine Midwest roots inspired JLynn's use of denim in her designs. Using tough, strong and basic fabrics, she is still able to capture a flowing beauty in the designs. When wearing jeans with embellishments was a major trend, JLynn saw the gratuitous bells and whistles as adulterating the true nature of the fabric. Her designs use denim in a completely different way—employing restraint and achieving beauty through the rugged fabric.

Fearlessly taking the conventional and making it unconventional is what drives JLynn, and her work is gaining momentum, as well as critical acclaim, in the industry. Deidre Crawford, Technology Editor of the Fashion Industries Guild, lauded JLynn's work in California Apparel News as "One of the most innovative creations of the night was a backless stretch-denim dress adorned with chicken wire, created by Midwest designer JLynn Hausmann of JHAUS premium denim."
