Pre destined to be apart of the fashion industry, 23- year- old bronzed skinned, curly brunette Jessica Verbano has always had an eye for fashion since she was a little girl.
Verbano’s, who is Italian, paternal great- grandparents immigrated to America from Italy through Ellis Island. There Jessica’s passion for fashion elevated to a dream of becoming apart of the fashion industry. The youngest of four sisters, Verbano was born in Irving, Texas but moved to Trenton, Texas a small community right outside of North Dallas when she was in the second grade.
“I decided to major in Fashion Merchandising because I love clothes but I didn’t want to design them” Verbano said. The fashion merchandising program at UNT requires an internship for you to graduate Verbano knew a classmate who was interning with Abercrombie and Fitch, a clothing store that markets to college students, and introduced her to a recruiter. Verbano met with Candace a recruiter for Hollister, a clothing store that has California inspired clothes for teenagers, had an interview and got hired as an intern. After she interned for the summer Verbano was hired as the assistant manager.
Verbano is the head of visuals at Hollister and changes the entire store every time new merchandise arrives. Floor sets are changing the tables at Hollister replacing the old clothes with new clothes. She hopes that her retail experience will lead her to become a stylist or trend forecaster in the future.
Verbano describes her style as tough and risky chic. “I love taking my favorite pieces but adding unexpected twists like a ballerina skirt, a tailored jacket with nothing underneath it, and a pair of the tallest stilettos, fashion is all about pushing the envelope” Verbano said. When she’s not at work Verbano loves to vintage shop at boutiques, eat dinner with her grandmother, go out with her friends, and spending quality time with her boyfriend of three years Chris. Verbano is also a music lover and recently flew to Las Vegas, Nevada to see her favorite performer sing Brittney Spears. “Five years from now I see myself working as a stylist and hopefully married to my boyfriend” Verbano said.
