Julie Muszynski is an author, illustrator, designer, and just plain all-around creative. She loves all things artistic, beautiful, and research-based. Often you can find her deep in the trenches of a bookstore, archive, or library. In fact, her latest project found her ensconced in the Brooke Russell Astor Reading Room at the New York Public Library researching an extravagantly divine fashion editor for a forthcoming book.
She spent her formative years in her career working in the prestigious advertising and fashion departments at Saks Fifth Avenue and Calvin Klein respectively, moving on to work as a freelance stylist for clients including Bergdorf Goodman, Burberry, Martha Stewart Living, and Vogue just to name a few. Research is an integral part of her personal and professional work, some of the archives she has worked extensively with include: the New York Public Library, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Henry Ford, the American Kennel Club, the Museum of Natural History, The New School as well as the archives and collections of many other prominent designers and artists. Julie has written five books, three of which she also illustrated and designed based on her charming character, Henley™®. She is a graduate of Parsons School of Design, studied animation at The School of Visual Arts, received her MFA in Illustration from the Fashion Institute of Technology, and went on to receive a Certificate in Graphic Design from Parsons where she recently served for four years prior to Covid as an Adjunct Professor in the School of Fashion. Currently, she is an Adjunct Professor of Fashion Illustration at Wayne State University and is authoring a course in Art Direction and Visual Curration for the MFA Fashion Design program at the Academy of Art University where she also teaches. Julie and Facey, her Japanese Chin, divide time between New York City and “The Paris of the Midwest” Detroit.
Julie is available for commission works as well as commercial + editorial - research, writing, illustration and design collaborations.
