There is something to be said about a fierce woman, who possesses a strong presence, has a knack for words, admirable work ethics, and a style that balances the often unachievable look of edge and ease.

The Cleveland, Ohio native, turned New York icon, Jenne Lombardo, is this woman. Somewhat of an industry heavy weight, Lombardo epitomizes the essence of a true entrepreneur.

She started out at Interview Magazine, and then founded consulting company, The Terminal Presents, where she moved onto M.A.C. Cosmetics as executive director of talent, fashion and special events relations, bringing on young designers such as Rodarte and Alexander Wang and W Hotel global fashion director.

Now co-founder of MADE fashion week, based out of its New York headquarters - Milk Studios, Lombardo seems to be doing it all. The parent of three, whose kid’s names couldn’t be any cooler - Valentino, Roxy and Bowie – is an inspiration for young girls and women alike who are aspiring to make it in the competitive world of fashion.

With prominent tattoos and a wardrobe that mixes plenty of leather and deconstructed garments with soft feminine pieces and statement jewelry items, Lombardo blends punk, classic, vintage and contemporary all into her own style.
