Jen Azoulay is an expert tastemaker. The ultra-chic creative has spent her career as the visual merchandising director for a luxury maison and a stylist for ELLE magazine in her native France. At her essence, her French roots have already set the tone for an elevated yet understated essence in style.
These days, Azoulay spends her time in sunny Southern California as one of the industry’s leading influencers working with legacy fashion houses and, most recently, as the founder of Jen Wonders Studio.
Melding her love of vintage and sustainable fashion, Jen Wonders Studio puts together capsule collections built upon individuality and ethics within fashion to expertly enhance pre-loved pieces. Azoulay has curated a collection titled Celestial, which consists of upcycled high-designer blazers and dresses. Inspired by the starry skies seen from her Hollywood Hills home, each piece in the collection upholds the theme while remaining completely unique. “My vision comes once I find the piece–it’s really just a feeling,” says Azoulay as she leads with the question of “How do I turn this into a piece of art?” within her organic creative process.
My vision comes once I find the piece–it’s really just a feeling. How do I turn this into a piece of art?
Adorned with jewels sourced from around the world by Azoulay herself, elegant embellishment was added to transform the collection into a capsule of one-of-a-kind pieces that will launch just in time for the holiday season. Within the collection, discover a rare silk twill Gucci dress that’s been punctuated with black rhinestone fringe, a vintage Oscar de la Renta blazer that’s been updated with elegant pearl trim, and a standout chocolate leather blazer that features a full-sequin cape. Case in point: whether you’re in the market for a head-turning holiday party look or a gift that holds forever staying power in someone’s closet, any piece from the Celestial capsule will do the trick.
