Jennifer Hitzges was still studying at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City when she landed an internship at Giovanni Testino, she remained his assistant for three years working as an agent and from there assisted prominent stylists like Alex White and Joe Zee. She spent many years as a contributing stylist at W, and finally made the bold move to being completely freelance.
Since then Jennifer has become a trusted and sought-after stylist. Magazine editors often request her time and as a result she has contributed to Vanity Fair, InStyle, Teen Vogue, Vogue Bambini, Vogue Nippon, Vogue Espana, Greek Vogue, British Elle, British Esquire, British GQ, i-D, Rolling Stone, Glamour, Surface, Self, Flair, Travel + Leisure, Cookie and Jane.
Jennifer has styled fashion and beauty advertising campaigns for a number of prestigious brands including Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus, Anne Klein, Bergdorf Goodman, Kohl’s, Target, Hot Kiss, Revlon, Cover Girl, L’Oreal, Clinique, Shiseido, Sephora, Redken, RMK, John Frieda, Paul Mitchell, Clairol, Avon and Jergens. In addition she has styled TV commercials for Pantene Pro-V featuring actress Kelly Ripa, Fresh Direct featuring actress Cynthia Nixon and well-known Japanese cosmetics brand Kose.
Among the many noted photographers with whom Jennifer has collaborated are Michael Thompson, Mario Sorrenti, Satoshi Saikusa, Juergen Teller, Tesh, Koto Bolofo, Carter Smith, Max Vadukul, Chris Craymer, Dean Isidro, Reagan Cameron, Arthur Elgort, Mark Abrahams, Thomas Schenk, Amanda De Cadenet, Pamela Hanson, Cleo Sullivan, Delphine Chanet, Ondrea Barbe, Noe Dewitt, Guy Aroch, Patric Shaw, Diego Uchitel, Ben Watts, Robert Erdmann, Paul Bellart, Doug Inglish, Dan Forbes, Philippe Cometti and Helmut Newton.
Though Jennifer continuously works on editorials and advertising she is also a talented consultant and runway stylist. Rising design star Alice Ritter chose Jennifer to style her fall 2007 runway show, and in September 2006 she styled the spring 2007 show for Vivienne Tam. She is has also been a consultant at Nautica Brands for both the womenswear and menswear lines.
Always patient and creative, Jennifer possesses the ideal qualities required to work with children and bring out the best in them for any shoot. Aside from working on shoots for Cookie and Vogue Bambini, she was booked by The Children’s Place as a spokesperson at the company’s spring and fall 2005 collection presentations where she discussed the trends with editors and answered their questions. It makes perfect sense that Jennifer designs a capsule line of children’s onesies, t-shirts and dresses - each unique piece embellished with her signature embroidery, felt appliqué and insignia.
Jennifer is a trusted celebrity stylist and continues to build on the already extensive list of those with whom she has worked over the years, including Natalie Portman, Jessica Biel, Christina Applegate, Mischa Barton, Anne Hathaway, Mandy Moore, Gretchen Mol, Beyoncé Knowles, Fergie, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Alba, Julia Stiles, Chloe Sevigny, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Selma Blair, Eva Longoria Parker, Jennifer Garner, Eva Mendes, Kerry Washington, Sheryl Crow, Ashley Judd, Natasha Richardson, Julianne Moore, Ellen Barkin, Mariska Hargitay, Serena Williams, Christian Bale, Johnny Knoxville and David Duchovny.
Jennifer Hitzges is currently based in New York City.
