The Story

Heidi Hess: Where Fashion Moves With You

Fashion isn’t just about what you wear—it’s about how it fits into your life. It should move with you, adapt to your rhythm, and feel as natural as your favorite song.

Before launching her brand, Heidi Hess built a career as a radio personality in New York City, Chicago, and Miami, sharing music that set the tone for people’s lives. Then, an unexpected moment changed everything.

Her mother sent her a hand-knit shawl—no grand plan, but she felt something for Heidi’s future was there. Heidi wore it to the VH1 Music Awards, where Janet Jackson took notice. That moment sparked an idea:

What if clothing could feel as effortless and expressive as music?

And with that, Heidi Hess Designs was born.

Heidi Hess Designs is an independent, female-founded brand that blends comfort, versatility, and effortless style.
