SETTING TRENDS IN THE 80S AND 90S

Judy B was one of the creative forces that shaped the look and feel of the 1980s and 90s. Starting her career in the heyday of MTV, she was pivotal to creating the look for more than 50 artists and 80 music videos. With video becoming nearly as important as the music itself, she had the opportunity to design costumes, style artists, and set the trends.

She worked on videos like Michael Jackson's "Liberian Girl," Phil Collins "Do You Remember" and "I Wish It Would Rain," Cheap Trick's "Never Had a Lot," "The Flame," and "Don’t Be Cruel." Her aesthetic shaped the visual storytelling of artists like Harry Connick Jr., Eddie Money, Herb Alpert, Richard Marx, Cheap Trick, Kenny Loggins, and more.

In addition to her work in the music industry, Judy also brought her keen eye to film and television, working on 8 television series, 30 movies, and 8 feature films. Her contributions to acclaimed shows like "The Twilight Zone" and "Murder in the Heartland" earned her consideration for Emmy Awards.

FROM ROCK 'N' ROLL STYLIST TO QUEEN OF TWEENS

In the mid-1990s, Judy B began working with Mary Kate and Ashly Olsen as their stylist. Unable to find fashionable off-the-rack clothing for the girls, she began buying women’s clothing and cutting it down to fit. Encouraged by the incredible response to these styles from the public, she knew there was an extensive audience of young girls interested in more fashionable clothes. She created the Mary Kate and Ashley lifestyle label for WalMart, catapulting them into a billion-dollar global brand across 44 categories and earning her the nickname of “the Queen of Tweens.”

Disney took notice, and brought in Judy to consult on the launch of a fashion line for Hannah Montana. Judy B also worked with child YouTube star Ryan Kaji of Ryan ToysReview suggesting a rebrand to Ryan’s World and creating a style guide that drove their branded products to a successful retail launch with global retailers like Wal-Mart.
