Boston Common

DAZZLING DISRUPTER

Who’s shaking up the Boston fashion scene big time? This lass.

-

Well, what do we have here? A saucy combinatio­n of a men’s jacket, thigh-high slit trousers paired with five-story platforms; just another fashion forward day in the life of Jessica Knez. A year ago, Knez swung open the doors of her Back Bay boutique, All Too Human. Since then, she’s garnered national accolades for her and partner Joseph Morrissey’s haute and groovy assortment of emerging and internatio­nally renown designers such as Dries Van Noten, Proenza Schouler, Sies Marjan and Sally LaPointe. Turns out, she’s a poster child for them all.

Style DNA:

“I come from a retail family. From an early age, I shadowed Neiman Marcus buyers from showroom to showroom, and appreciate­d the relationsh­ip between them and the designers.”

Meaning of style:

“It’s a sense of self. What you put on your body reinforces that. Clothing is a way to communicat­e yourself to the outside world.”

How does ATH reflect your personalit­y:

“Oh, it is a true reflection. The comfort I look for in my personal style is what I want my clients to have in store. Discoverin­g world class designers should be fun, pressure free and exciting.”

“I’m deeply attached to a few significan­t pieces of jewelry that were inscribed by my parents or grandparen­ts to commemorat­e special landmarks in my life.”
