Meet Our Founder Rickie

As a young child raised overseas, Rickie Freeman spent her after school hours watching her father, a tailor, fit and sew men's suits. Intrigued by her father's meticulous attention to detail, an inspired Rickie Freeman discovered in herself an insatiable curiosity for fashion design. She eventually went on to pursue her own fashion dreams-moving to New York at age 17 and attending New York's Fashion Institute of Technology. Upon graduation, Rickie first worked at Evan Piconne from 1974-1976 and then was the lead designer for Elie Tahari from 1976 until 1978. It was just shortly after her time at Tahari when she founded Teri Jon, the now 35-year-old luxury brand.

Today, Rickie Freeman is not just a designer; like many of those wearing Teri Jon, she is a wife, a mother, and a grandmother. She is a motivated and passionate professional. It is all of these roles combined that inspire Rickie to design her collections.

Rickie's vision is for every woman, regardless of her age, to be able to fit the Teri Jon collection and feel both comfortable and beautiful. "Every woman should have the opportunity to look great no matter what size or body shape she has." With this at the forefront, Rickie personally tries on every style, ensuring it has a proper fit for all women.
