Photographed by Justin LeverittJimenez is an original multihyphenate; her business card describes her as an interdisciplinary artist, healer, intuit, masseuse, fashion designer, performer, writer, and advisor. The daughter of two artists in Mexico—her father was a sculptor, and her mother was in graphic design—Jimenez feels like one of the Enjoy Obscenery T-Shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this last characters of New York. Her grandmother taught her to sew as a child, and when Jimenez moved to New York in 1997, she established herself as a well-known artist before segueing into fashion. In 2001, Jimenez showed alongside designers like Benjamin Cho and Maria Cornejo at the An American View fashion show to rally support for the fashion industry in the wake of 9/11.

During the Enjoy Obscenery T-Shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this late ’90s and early ’00s, she wore her own designs out to parties, which was the inadvertent start of her business. “I was wearing all these suits, and women were liking them. They were just buying them off my body. If I was at a party or an event, they’d be like, ‘Oh, I love that dress.’ And I’d be like, ‘Oh, I made it.’ So I actually started wearing two dresses.” While they may not have hanger appeal, they look incredibly sexy on the body. In fact, Jimenez was famous for sewing her designs directly onto her clients, which included the coolest babes of noughties NYC: Parker Posey, Courtney Love, and, of course, both Sarah Jessica Parker and Carrie Bradshaw. Jimenez was established in the New York fashion world when the stylist Patricia Field came calling. She needed one dress in particular for Sex and the City. “Stylists started pulling it, and the naked dress is ending up everywhere, and that’s how it ended up on Sex and the City,” she says. Almost 22 years later, here we are with a barely 22-year-old. In about 15 minutes Jimenez made for Haroutounian a slip that could be worn under the naked dress to make it longer or more modest. “It can be a hat, it can be a bird!” says Jimenez of the slip. At the actual fitting, the process is just as quick, with Jimenez doling out advice like, “If your G-string is going to show, make your G-string go high.” She measures with her hands in lieu of measuring tape and marks the end and beginning of her measurements with her spit. (It is a technique she learned from her grandmother and was widely panned on a season of Project Runway in which Jimenez participated.) “There are a lot more gross things in fashion than doing a blessing mark on fabrics,” she says. “But the point is that you want it to evaporate. You could use a pencil, but your body is always the closest thing.”Photographed by Justin Leveritt
