Jillian Lewis Brother sewing machines

From Yenra

Announced August 27, 2008, Brother formed a business relationship with Jillian Lewis, one of three finalists of the hit fashion reality television show, Project Runway Season Four. Lewis was recently a keynote speaker at Brother's annual Back to Business event, where she explained how her own Brother sewing machine helped in developing her dream to become a fashion designer.

Lewis began sewing at the age of sixteen, on a Brother Pacesetter 2300. This Pacesetter model carried Lewis through her collegiate career at Parsons School of Design, and was used to create her first complete line shown on Project Runway Season Four. Lewis notes the Pacesetter 2300 will go down in history as a huge asset to her for creating clothes to wear to school, developing her senior thesis and preparing for Project Runway.

In addition to aligning herself with Brother, Lewis is launching her new clothing line, which she calls "ultra-feminine, sexy, colorful and unique to my vision." Inspiration for the line came from many avenues, including graffiti. Lewis comments that her designs transform an irrelevant art form, making her collection abstract, sophisticated and chic.
