From Jack White to the Ryman Auditorium, Steven Tyler to Reba McEntire, Loretta Harper Is leaving her mark on the music industry one bespoke design at a time. Having started her career in costume design for clubs where she was a dancer, Harper’s experience runs the gamut from film, television, and music videos to world tours, commercial productions, award shows, and documentaries, preservation, and conservation.
A performer herself, Harper’s passion for fashion design stems from a deep
understanding of the rich history of textiles and the fashion industry, as well as what her clients need in order to do their jobs to the best of their ability. “I always take the environment into consideration. It is my job to keep my client comfortable at all times. It doesn’t matter if you’re a singer on tour or an individual coming to me for a gala gown, if you're not comfortable in your clothes, you’re not going to be yourself. When it comes to designing, I draw my inspiration from whoever the person is that I’m working with. They must be the original who stands out and sets the standards.”
Harper places equal emphasis on historical accuracy and proper preservation in her conservation work. She is also the textile archivist for the Elvis Presley estate. She is no longer full time with Reba but we did 6 years working together. As well she has acted as conservationist and consultant on countless historical projects, restoring pieces for the enjoyment of generations to come.
