JANE MOHR DESIGN'S

DRESS TO KILL / CAZ KNITWEAR

ESTABLISHED IN 1990,  JANE MOHR DESIGN'S / DRESS TO KILL, IS ONE OF THE TRULY LAST REMAINING COTTAGE INDUSTRIES.  EVERYTHING IS PRODUCED IN MY STUDIO.  EXCEPT FOR CAZ KNITS.

AFTER GRADUATING ART CENTER COLLEGE OF DESIGN IN 1984,  I SPENT 4 YEARS IN EUROPE WORKING AS A FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER FOR MANY MAGAZINES.  I RETURNED TO LOS ANGELES AND OPENED A OUTDOOR STALL ON THE VENICE BEACH BOARDWALK, WHERE I BEGAN  TO TEST MARKET MY OWN DESIGNS.  FROM THERE CAME THE BIRTH OF DRESS TO KILL. IT STARTED WITH VINTAGE STYLE PRINT DRESSES WITH MATCHING SUSPENDER CLIPS, WHICH SOLD AT MAJOR DEPT. STORES, INCLUDING SAK'S, NEIMANS AS WELL AS  NATIONWIDE BOUTIQUES.

OVER THE YEARS DRESS TO KILL HAS EVOLVED INTO A SOPHISTICATED ART TO WEAR COLLECTION, OFFERING UNIQUE STYLES IN NOVELTY FABRICS FROM EUROPE AND JAPAN.  THE BEAUTY OF THE LINE IS THAT IT LOOKS GREAT ON ALL BODY TYPES AND IT LASTS!!  I BELIEVE WHEN YOU BUY EXPENSIVE CLOTHING,  IT SHOULD BE EASY TO CARE FOR AND LOOK AS GOOD AFTER WASHING,  AS WHEN YOU FIRST PURCHASED IT.

I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A PASSION FOR SWEATERS,  CAZ CASHMERE,  ARE LIMITED EDITION FUNKY SWEATERS.  IT  IS NOW IN IT'S FOURTH YEAR AND GROWN TO 22 DESIGNS IN 8 NEW COLORS. 

IN 2008 I COLLABORATED WITH A LOS ANGELES KNITTER TO CREATE CAZ KNITWEAR, A COLLECTION OF UNIQUE HAND LOOMED SWEATERS, IN NOVELTY, HIGH END IMPORTED YARNS. 

CLOTHING SHOULD REFLECT A WOMANS UNIQUE STYLE AND INDIVIDUALITY,  THE DRESS TO KILL / CAZ WOMAN IS BOLD, CONFIDENT AND DOES NOT WANT TO SEE HERSELF COMING AND GOING.
