Jené launched her career in 1999 as a TV news producer and broadcast journalist, covering everything from the Iraq war and the presidential elections to fashion weeks in New York, Paris and Milan. After 7 years in news, she permanently forayed into fashion and never looked back (well, except for when platforms came back into style). She took a position as style director and fashion editor for a regional luxury lifestyle magazine, where she wrote a monthly fashion column, generated fashion content and produced celebrity-driven editorial shoots. She is now a sought after stylist, spokesperson and brand consultant, frequently called upon by major retailers such as Bloomingdale's, Neiman Marcus and Calvin Klein. The multi-talented author spent her early years playing dress up in her family's clothing boutique in upstate New York, modeling for local newspaper ads and helping her mother with buying. You could say fashion is in her “jeans." She's also an accomplished singer who began performing at the age of 9 years old. Luciani currently lives in New York with her husband and their daughter and is hard at work juggling mommy duties and writing her second fashion how-to tome.
