Through 5/22.“Jodi Arnold’s vintage vision is as refreshing as her collection’s namesake herb. Born over a cup of tea in Paris, the Mint collection puts a twist on feminine flounce. Inspired by vintage pattern, form and fit, Mint designs are modern, timeless and exceptionably wearable-with an air of exclusive boutique luxury.

 

She’s been sewing since she was 13 in Birmingham, Alabama and her Southern roots still proudly show in the details of her clothes. Jodi Arnold has been an illustrator for Simplicity Patterns, and a designer for Danskin. She worked in the Junior market and traveled throughout India, the Far Easy and Europe before innovating her own label. Her showroom grew out of a deeply personal desire to share the full Mint experience with buyers and the press. Her visions for the future include opening Mint stores and doing a Mint shoe and accessory line.”
