Ali Rahimi is the creative designer behind the brand Mon Atelier and creates one-of-a-kind pieces for celebrity A-List clientele, including Jane Lynch, Queen Latifah, and Anjelica Huston. He is known for his design of the famous pink "Jackie O" suit featured on Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde 2, as well as his work with the television shows Glee and America's Got Talent. Rahimi has more than two decades of experience crafting couture clothing and perfecting designs through multiple fittings and the near-lost art of hand finishing. He and partner John Barle own an independent studio in Los Angeles. They will discuss the how their career in the apparel industry took them from the Virginia Marti College of Art and Design in Lakewood, Ohio, to running and operating a niche boutique for Hollywood celebrities.
