We had the good fortune of connecting with CARLA JORDAN and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi CARLA, what’s the end goal, career-wise?
The Jon-Luc’ Brand has been a Dream come true for me, back to my early childhood. I was so fascinated with the Wiz with a focus on the Costumes, the musical scenes and the hidden story lines and dreamt of creating my own show one day.

That dream is tangible now and as I come close to retirement age, my goal is to create a Show that will not only travel the World but enable a Prosperous legacy to be left for my family.

The creation and Production of a Jon-Luc’ Theatrical Show; is definitely a Phenomenal way to end my Award winning Career as a Designer, a visionary and ultimately- a Legendary Game Changer.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I’ am the Co-Founder and Creative Director of The Award winning, Jon-Luc’ Brand. Jon-Luc’ is a Victorian Steampunk genre by design and dares to incorporate that era into today’s Fashion looks.

Jon-Luc’ prides itself on creating and implementing an overall Theatrical experience for Models, MUAs and Show attendees.

The combination of the two eras, forbidden fabrics, notions and out of the box ideas is what sets Jon-Luc’ apart. Being a minority designer in a UK dominant genre is a small set back at times but I refuse to allow that to hold me back.

I want the World to embrace the Jon-Luc’ Theatrical experience in a way that transforms them to a place of excitement, anticipation and an overall “WOW” factor.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If I had friends visiting Atlanta, I would create a one of a kind experience for them. I would definitely reserve tickets for a VIP Cirque de Soleil Show experience for starters. I would plan shopping trips to Little Five Points, The Mall of Georgia, a trip to the Sugar Factory for creative drinks and food and definitely end the visit with a Broadway Show.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to Dedicate the success of my career to my parents-Leverne and Ralph, my husband Vic and two sons Christopher and Christion.

They have been my strength, my prayer warriors, running board for ideas and occasionally…human Mannequins. My parents, husband and sons are truly my biggest fans and I could not have made it this far without them.
