James Reilly
Specialty: I creatively translate ideas into one-of-a-kind garments that look ageless and unidentifiable.
Background: I knew from an early age I’d be designing clothing. I worked in New York for more than a decade after studying at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and then moved back to Minneapolis to raise my daughters.
Target Customer: A woman of any age who’s romantic, artistic, appreciates beauty, and notices every detail.
Inspiration: Literature, music, and color, always.
Price Range: Starting at $220 to approximately $3,200 (for a wedding dress).
