Company and Designer Background


Jocelyn Inc. was created by noted accessories designer Jocelyn Gordon. After devoting her considerable talents and unique point of view to others in the industry, Jocelyn was encouraged by a bevy of top editors and buyers to embark on her own path. She created her first designs under Jocelyn Inc. in 2001. Henri Bendel, Bergdorf Goodman, and Scoop immediately picked up her collection.

Armed with a fabulous sense of style and an NYU degree in retailing and business, Jocelyn began her career in 1982 as a buyer. After spending two years working in the wholesale, merchandising and public relations departments at Norma Kamali, her career fast-forwarded to include designing. Hired to revamp Elizabeth Gillett, Ltd.’s scarf collection, Jocelyn tripled the company’s earnings within three years. Top buyers and editors recognized her talent and encouraged Jocelyn to start her own company. In 1999, buyers at Henri Bendel, Bergdorf Goodman and Scoop enthusiastically received the launch of Jocelyn Inc.’s accessories collection.

The Jocelyn Inc. collection is made up of trend setting, luxurious accessories that make people “scream” with excitement. “If you can’t get into your skinny jeans, “says Jocelyn, “go buy one of my fur scarves – you’ll feel great!”

Jocelyn is renowned for creating the “it” item season after season. Always ahead of the trends, Jocelyn has now captivated the fur market with her rich ruffle scarves, perfectly fitted vests and lavish wraps. Jocelyn uses vibrant colors and luxurious embellishments to create her feminine and sexy accessories that attract fashion conscious women of all ages.

To Jocelyn, the most inspiring part of designing accessories is the ability to make a woman feel special. “I love taking people and changing their fashion image. “I can dress anyone over from head to toe and make them feel like a million dollars.”
