She attended Parsons School of Design in both New York and Paris and worked with Olivier Theyskens for nearly five years at Rochas and later Nina Ricci.

Juliette Hogan Winter 2010
Juliette Hogan’s winter 10 collection titled “so pretty it hurts” celebrates a demure muse, with shirts tucked in and buttoned to the top, pleats sharply pressed and an air of bookish beauty about her. There’s signature Juliette Hogan with pleated chiffon frocks, muted tones and ladylike floral prints, but set down you tea cups as this season gets a shake up with hiked up hems, a colour injection of off brights in olive, sapphire and purple and dramatic amelie cape coats in black and lavender wool or bright coral vintage crepe. Feminine shapes in sheeny bright wildberry silk are contrasted with structured pieces in wool tweed. Masculine tailored garments in navy & black cotton twill are paired with feminine & floaty chiffons and the signature crescent print in black & taupe on silk crepe de chine is offered in classic Juliette Hogan dresses & tunics. The cathy corset with bold exposed zip, thigh high tweed lydia skirt & tiered cee cee dress cause a double take and leave you wondering if the librarian muse is as prim and proper as you first thought.
