Janelle Lampp Launches JanelleStyle

Smyrna, GA, August 18--6, 2004—Janelle Lampp, acclaimed for her design and color expertise as a consultant to the rug and home textile industries for 18 years has her own brand, JanelleStyle, which is licensed by Colonial Mills, Inc., Jaipur Rugs and Homefires. Lampp’s creations are fueled by her extensive experience in sourcing, design, product development, art direction and marketing. She holds a MBA and AAS in Fashion Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City and is often invited to speak at seminars and corporate meetings as well as write for industry trade publications. Lampp also shares her knowledge at the Surfaces Trade Show in Las Vegas where she conducts an annual seminar on design, development and trends in area and accent rugs. "As I worked with major manufacturers, importers and retailers worldwide, I began to develop a style that I wanted to brand as my own,” says Lampp. “I believe in design that is fluid and practical yet transitional enough to dress a casual and eclectic lifestyle. My work adheres to a decidedly female, not necessarily feminine, point of view, avoiding the too traditional or wildly contemporary. Although red plays a prominent role in my palette, I am equally at ease with strong, saturated colors as with calmed washed ones.” The first licensee to sign Lampp was Colonial Mills, Inc., quickly followed by Jaipur Rugs and Homefires. The collections with each are unique, yet in keeping with Lampp’s signature style. All licensees will be showcasing her designs at the International Home Furnishings Market in High Point.
