Heike Jarick is a German-born, London-schooled, Milan-trained and globally focused fashion designer living in New York City.
Launched in 2002, the HEIKEJARICK line focuses on experimental use of drape, layering and tailoring, creatively contrasting structure and fluidity in innovative fabrics.

Exclusive fabrics from Italy and Japan coupled with specially selected color stories complete Heike’s signature, which is inspired by contemporary art, music and architecture, namely Bauhaus theory. Soft shapes and sculptural elements retain their raw forms, always executed effortlessly. Pieces are often multi-use, multi-purpose and highly versatile, focusing on construction and deconstruction,
The brand’s interplay of hard and soft has been celebrated in international fashion magazines and worn by celebrity clients like Halle Berry, Kate Hudson, Shakira and Mandy Moore.
