Her travel lifestyle keeps her in touch with the MJT upscale clientele globally. Her hands -on approach to the business and branding gives it a unique personal feel when purchasing a MJT garment. She educates the client on their purchase and creates a lifelong loyal customer by doing this. MJT is a small company of three women including Michelle. They work together in producing, selling, promoting and shipping the brand's product. This allows consistent personalized service and educated sales advice for the retail stores and customers. This kind of personal service is appreciated in this unstable economy and differentiates MJT from other fashion companies. Although it is called travelwear, it crosses over several markets: ready to wear, loungewear, swimwear, and intimate wear. It has an every day wearability but works well as travelwear because it is easy to care for, comfortable and versatile for all occasions. It has been increasingly popular with the upscale professional woman who travels. Actresses, doctors, Hollywood agents, athletes, singers, corporate executives and comedians to name a few, rave about the collection and the versatility of the styles for their travel needs. The design and wearability make the Michelle Jonas garment appealing to a variety of women of all ages and sizes. After school, I moved to New York City to work for a fashion advertising/branding agency called Arnell Bickford Associates, which is now the Arnell Group. I worked directly under the agency's owner and genius marketing talent, Peter Arnell, building the Donna Karan brand image. I also assisted in styling the Donna Karan advertising campaigns and creating new marketing concepts. In 1993, I was asked to join the Vanity Fair magazine styling team, where I assisted in styling Madonna, Elizabeth Taylor, Geena Davis and many other celebrities featured in the publication. While I freelanced as a stylist at VF, I also moonlighted at a French showroom, Saint Germain Showroom, selling wholesale haute couture collections by French designers, Paco Rabanne, Martine Sitbon, and Marcel Marongiu to retailers. Two years later, the Fashion Director of Vanity Fair magazine, Marina Schiano, recommended me for a permanent position as an Accessories Editor at Vogue magazine. I worked under Candy Pratts Price, the Accessories Director and Anna Wintour, the Editor in Chief of Vogue Magazine. During my editorial career at VOGUE, I found myself designing jewelry and creating clothing for designers to help them get featured in VOGUE. I realized I wanted to be a designer not an editor. While at Vogue, I met Ralph Lauren during a fashion appointment at his office. In 1995, he asked me to join his design team creating a new fashion forward label called RALPH. Ralph thought I was the epitome of the RALPHgirl. She was a fashion conscious modern girl with a personal style exuding femininity and classic taste.
