Chantal’s Style
Chantal’s designs are based on her extensive knowledge of
color and composition, gained from years of education at art schools
in Bordeaux, London, Hong Kong and Los Angeles.
Having lived in five different countries on four continents
enables Chantal to mesh cultural and religious themes into
beautiful and unique pieces. She captures the feelings
of these different cultures, yet reflects the individuality
of the woman who wears each piece.

Mother Daughter Team
Following in the family tradition, Jennifer (Giddens) Gustafson
is also an
artist working in the mediums of pen and ink, acrylics, set design
and
computer graphics. Born in London, Jennifer grew up in Hong Kong
and
Los Angeles, spending every summer with family and attending school
in
the South of France. She studied at Art Center College of Design
graduating
with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film and has since worked in the
television
industry as a set dresser and a director. Eventually, Jennifer's
love of
fashion and jewelry designs led her to join her mother to become
CEO
of Chantal Giddens Designs.
The nature of the mother daughter partnership works to the
benefit of the company -
although Chantal is the head designer, Jennifer is involved in
the purchasing of all materials
and the choosing of symbols and themes.
