It begins in Worcester, Massachusetts where as a child Jim Hjelm enjoyed designing clothing for the comic book character Brenda Starr. In those days, he dreamt of designing clothing for the theater or film industry. But after graduating from the New England School of Design and enduring an unsuccessful job-hunt, a friend told him about a position in Boston at the House of Bianchi, a popular bridal house. This led him to essentially become a bridal gown designer by accident. For two years Hjelm learned the basics to designing wedding dresses and eventually developed his own style for wedding dresses. Two years later, Hjelm started to work with Priscilla of Boston. Feeling confident in designing wedding gowns, this is where he learned the business side of the bridal gown industry. During the 19 years with Priscilla of Boston, Hjelm became a popular designer for not only wedding dresses, but also party dresses. In 1980, Hjelm moved to New York to design for Galina-Bouquet, Inc. Hjelm stated that he learned from his new boss, Steve Lawrence, “how to be a little tough.” After a few years at Galina-Bouquet, Hjelm felt confident in launching his own label. The company offers less expensive gowns and high-end gowns.
