Lindsay Anne Jones was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York City. Her interest in fashion began while majoring in fine arts at Edward R. Murrow H.S in Brooklyn. During her junior year she was allowed to take any art elective she desired, so she chose Fashion Illustration and Design. She was immediately addicted. After high school, Lindsay attended the Fashion Institute of Technology to further her education in Fashion Design. While in school, Lindsay interned for a woman’s contemporary designer named Sally Tseng, and for a maternity wear company. Lindsay was allowed to design freelance for the maternity wear company which challenged her to really think about designing for a particular customer and the needs of the customer. Lindsay was president of the Model Workshop at F.I.T. It was through Model Workshop that she acquired leadership skills and developed knowledge of choreographing and coordinating runway shows. After graduating from F.I.T she ventured briefly in designing beading and embroidery, junior sportswear, and she worked for four years designing woman’s contemporary sportswear for mass market apparel labels. Her goal was to gain a sufficient amount of experience that would enable her to start her own line of apparel and accessories.
In March 2008 Lindsay started her line Lin-Z inc. Lin-Z inc. specializes in woman’s contemporary sportswear and eveningwear. It is a high-end lifestyle brand marketed toward women who are sexy, sophisticated, glamorous, and fun.
