Tiffany J: Baltimore-Based Fashion Designer Carlous Palmer

About Tiffany J

Tiffany Jones was born in Springfield, MA, and relocated to Baltimore in 1996 and has been a resident with her family ever since. She received her BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2012. Jones has exhibited her artwork in various galleries and museums in Massachusetts, New York, Virginia, and Maryland. These include the Marianne Boesky Gallery in New York, Artisphere in Virginia, Baltimore Museum of Art, James E Lewis Museum, and Sheila and Richard Riggs Galleries all in Baltimore. In 2012, Jones received a b-grant from the Baker’s Artist Awards for her photographic works which address topics of identity across multiple generations. Jones continues her photographic work while using her community as an inspiration.

This spring I had the opportunity to work with Baltimore-based fashion designer, Carlous Palmer, one of six nominees in the ready-to-wear category for the upcoming Fashion Awards MD being held June 15th at MICA's Brown Center.

In a recent article in Baltimore's Gay Life, Carlous explains his work is primarily in women’s ready to wear with his clientele consisting of, “women over 35 who are risk takers, a woman who naturally stands out and demands to be noticed."

With, the world as his palette, Carlous' designer pieces are often mistaken as haute couture by fashion laypersons. His designs are a mixture of textiles and shapes with a minimalist sensibility and unique fabrics.
