Heike Jarick

Heike Jarick can attend any red carpet event and see her designs on Halle Berry, Kate Hudson, Mandy Moore and Lucy Liu. Another surefire sign that you are doing something right is when your clothing line can be found in stores spanning the globe. And, when flipping through magazines, one can know they are pretty popular if their collections are featured on famous models. A true success since her start only a few years ago, Jarick premiered her signature label in 2000.

Born in Germany, Jarick spent many years studying and working for other designers in London, Milan and New York before coming out on her own. Her specialty is mixing neat, tailored pieces with soft and flowing ones, creating distinctly beautiful designs. Her current collection, perfect for the updated business man or woman, is sensual but clean, sophisticated and forward. In ‘06, she launched her men’s line, and in fall ‘08, will bring out her blue label line, a younger and fresher line. It’s been a non-stop whirlwind of success since Jarick began, and it looks like she has no intentions of stopping. In Chicago, find it at Uri Boutique in Old Town.
