About Jackie Shapiro

Jackie Shapiro launched her design career after graduating from Parson's School of Design majoring in Fashion. Her first job landed her in Italy, working for Milan's innovative fashion house, Fiorucci. It was here where she began to develop her bold and graphic, pop culture style. Jackie came back to New York and began freelancing for Tommy Hillfiger, and later went on to design for Itokin, one of Japan's largest fashion manufacturers.

Drawing from her experience designing for others, Jackie began her own children's fashion collection under the "Izzy" label for the next four years. Known for it's stylized mix of pattern and colour, Izzy was featured in top stores such as Henri Bendel's, Saks and Fred Segal.

Mattel Inc., Barbie's famous creator, commissioned Shapiro's talents from 1997 through 2005. As a freelance creative Jackie developed fashion concepts, bringing her modern vision to branding strategies for Mattel's Barbie brand Style guide and My Scene Styleguide, distributed to over 500 licensees world wide. She currently works closely with Cartoon Network's consumer products division designing the style guide assets for the Powerpuff Girls and Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi brands.

As the principal of French Bull, known internationally for redefining the melamine tableware market, Shapiro continues to break new ground and broaden it's life style statement.
