about

Julie Haus is an American fashion brand founded by Julie Haus and her husband Jason Alkire. Haus' goal was to create a ready-to-wear clothing line for women who shared her appreciation for uniqueness, femininity and intricate tailoring. Haus' designs quickly became known for their immaculate craft-work and impeccable fit and her style became a distinct fusion of old and new. Even today some pieces have her direct handwork on them.

Haus presented the first ready-to-wear collection to retailers in New York in 2006. Since inception, the collection has exuded Haus' signature forward and feminine aesthetic. To date the line has attracted retailers such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Barneys New York, Neiman Marcus, Harvey Nichols Dubai and Hong Kong, Saks Fifth Avenue Mexico, Plum in Lebanon, Blubird/Boboli in Canada, Via Bus Stop in Japan, Bloomingdale's in New York and Dubai, The Upper East in Jakarta, and Vakko and Beymen in Istanbul.

The collection is shown at New York Fashion Week. In 2009 and 2010, the runway collections were styled by Kate Lanphear the well-known style director of Elle.

In September 2010, Haus and Alkire opened their first retail flagship in the SoHo shopping section of New York City. The boutique is located at 458 Broome Street. The Julie Haus flagship also retails one-of-a-kind items as well as collaborations with up-and-coming fashion accessory designers.

Today, Julie Haus and Jason Alkire serve as the creative figures behind the Julie Haus collection as well as the J/J by Julie Haus diffusion line.
