Staff Support: Kerry Jones' Royal Jelly Fashion Show

While you may not have run into staff member Kerry Jones at the register (her domain is in the Sorting Room), you've probably taken note of her attention-grabbing tag writing style, often referring to "sweet" embroidered hankies or "totally rad" embellished tops. This week, Kerry brings her spunky, whimsical nature to the fashion world as head designer of Royal Jelly.

A smattering of prints define a cape from a previous Royal Jelly collection.

Royal Jelly's one-of-a-kind wares are tactile and complex, compelling one to touch, wear and be gratified. The newest RJ collection promises "an impossibly soft suede tank, harem shorts, and studded bra top" done up in "indulgent silks" juxtaposed with "destroyed, hole-ridden knitwear."

From Royal Jelly's previous collection, a textural, armored vest.

We sense an awesomely Celine-meets-Rodarte-esque summer of Frankenstein coming on.
