Accent by J'net Forrester - Fabulous Fashions

Accent by J'net Forrester is the stall to visit if you are looking for some of the most creative original women's fashions in the market. She wrote this short description of her line:

I launched Accent by Ja’net and opened a showroom. My scarves and shawls were sold to boutiques and catalog companies such as Brownstone Studio, Essence catalog, and the BET home shopping network. I traveled through a number of US cities, Canada, Europe, London, Switzerland, Italy, and Germany for inspiration. During that time, I received press coverage from Women's Wear Daily, Essence, and Accessory magazine.

Recently, there has been lots of buzz about my creation of jackets, coats, and vests, made of neoprene, a fabric more commonly used for wet suits. Buyers declare the neoprene garments to be wearable art. They declare that they look good and fit fantastically! Accent by Ja’net was also featured in a television shopping show “Shop around the World” and has received press from the Boston Globe, and online blogs.
