“This line is a collection that can be mixed and matched in many combinations,” Forman shared. “Someone can buy six to eight pieces and put together a fall wardrobe with dresses, tops, sweaters, skirts and jackets that can all be interchanged.”

The Jeans Whisperer has established a loyal customer base in its three years in Leesburg. Forman is now ready to take the next step by introducing her own private label.

“Growing up, my grandfather was a tailor and designed my clothing from the time I was a little girl,” Forman said. “My mother designed and sewed and taught me the skill. I used to buy clothing, cut it up and redesign it from the time I was a teenager so I always had a desire to do my own designing.”

Forman said her designs are inspired by the Bohemian spirit of the late 60’s and 70’s. They are blended with the simplicity and charm of the southern style of feminine dressing mixed in with a fun and flirty attitude that goes perfectly with cowboy boots or pumps.

“I’m excited to bring my customers a collection I believe will make them look and feel beautiful,” Forman said. She’s already had many requests for some of the new pieces.
