Jeanette Limas from Making the Cut runs her own clothing brand

Jeanette Limas went to school at The Mercy Jacquez Institute with a special emphasis on pattern making. After this, she attended the School for the Arts, Altos de Chavón, where, at the time of graduation, she won the Young Designer of the Year Award. On winning this, she got the encouragement to showcase her first-ever collection at the Dominican Republic Fashion Week.

Furthermore, she received a scholarship to study at Parsons School of Design and relocated to New York City to pursue higher education. This paved her way to study drapery at The Fashion Institute of Technology.

On receiving a proper degree in fashion, she worked as a full-time designer, which gave her the opportunity to work on the design team of Urban Zen by Donna Karan and Jolibe Atelier.

In 2015, Jeanette started her own clothing brand Jeanette Limas Official in Philadelphia, where she presented multiple successful collections at the New York Fashion Week.

In her interview with Main Line Today, she talked about her love for fashion design since childhood:

"I grew up in the Dominican Republic and have loved fashion since I was a little girl. When I was a teenager, I used my mom’s curtains to drape dresses that I wore to parties and events. (My mom still doesn’t know about that.)"

Limas is married to Yaroslav Lozhko, a doctor by profession. The couple dated for a long time before getting married in a courthouse on June 1, 2021.

As her official marriage was done very privately, the Making the Cut contestant shared the news to the public through social media and captioned it:

"Without telling anyone and without planning, Yaroslav and I got married! Just two of us. Even though I made my dress the day before, it was one of the happiest day of our life.”
