TUCK is a young, fresh clothing brand that mixes feminine embellishments with tough-girl cuts. Jamie Rice, the designer behind Tuck, felt a lack of comfortably sexy clothes in the fashion industry. I’d say she has more than filled that void.

Furies Magazine: Was there a particular piece that drew you into the world of design?
Jamie Rice: Well I’ve been designing since I was little. I remember watching Mahogany with Diana Ross and being amazed an inspired by that movie and the ‘rainbow dress’ she designed. That’s my earliest memory of being drawn into the world of design.
…
FM: Where do you find inspiration for your designs?
JR: Everywhere!..tv, magazines, people on the streets, online, my imagination…
…
FM: If you were ever lacking inspiration what would you turn to?
JR: I usually have too many ideas. I’m constantly making notes, sketching, tearing out of magazines, Pinning things (on Pinterest), etc but feel I will never have the time (or $) to produce all my ideas.

FM: What is your working space like?
JR: I have a small office in the city that’s always a mess and a small office in my house that’s always a mess… fabric, chains, paper, trims etc everywhere! I also work on my living room floor or table.
…
FM: What’s in the future for TUCK?
JR: I’d like to slowly & steadily grow my brand and stockists list. Once the women’s line is steady & strong, I’d like to make a little girls Tuck line.
…
FM: Will the little girl’s line follow in the women’s footsteps with the asymmetrical designs?
JR: Yes, I want to take the women’s line and shrink & tweak into trendy little girls’ clothes
