A visual reference guide for quintessential French fashion terms, this zine is curated with Paris-based fashion illustrators and vintage photography and didactic and playful with fashion week trivia and classic French fashion designer quotes. Je ne sais quoi, an English euphemism meaning an indescribable, desirable quality and translating to “I don’t know what” in French is the title of this zine. Giving you that special what to push those new invitees into the front seat of Paris Fashion Week, What in Je Ne Sais Quoi places them into the mindset of Parisian grandeur.

Bio
My name is Hana (pronounced like "Ohana means family"), and I’m a designer, illustrator, and lover of Italian visual culture. I’m currently based in Frisco, Texas, but my heart will always belong to my vibrant home-city of New Orleans, Louisiana. At the moment, I’m finishing up my BFA in Communication Design at the University of North Texas with a concentration in Graphic Design and minors in Merchandising and Art History. I have a passion for creating visuals that are holistic and content-driven while bringing solutions to life through meaningfully crafted print and digital creations.
