Even Women's Wear Daily, the industry bible, praised Jay's collection as the best of the bunch. In describing his design philosophy, McCarroll says, "It's my goal to make coverings for the body that are accessible yet artistic in their origin. I'm not interested in the demographic as much as I am in creating modern clothing for those who find it appealing for whatever reason. It's not up to me to create something with the wearer in mind that would influence the pure potential of my clothing."
Hailing from a small town in the mountains of Pennsylvania and educated in design in Philadelphia and London, McCarroll has been recognized throughout his career for his signature techno-bohemian style for both men and women. From producing underground fashion shows to winning the Most Creative Collection Award during his college days to being a finalist in Gen Art's well known homage to upcoming designer competitions, Jay McCarroll is poised to become, in the words of Michael Kors, "the next great American designer".
