TARA REICH

Bursting with creativity, Tara Reich brings an element of surprise to everything she does. Her illustrations & fashions blend anime & retro aesthetics as though they were meant to be together. She grew up around the antiques business which ignited her fascination between old world & contemporary design but didn't begin designing clothes until she discovered the passion while sewing to feed her hobby of cos-play. She went on to study fashion design at Columbia College & expanded her knowledge by working with Chicago designer, Barbara Staples. She claims to be a "nerd at heart" but I think she's definitely one of the cool kids!
