René Hari is a self-described “fashion connoisseur.” She began reading and collecting fashion magazines while in grade school. It was no surprise to family and friends when she began sewing and designing clothing while in junior high school. Following the acquisition of her applied arts degree in fashion, René became the lead designer for Aquadysea swimwear. In addition to the title of lead designer, René also became the wardrobe stylist while creating Aquadysea swimwear catalogs. René continued refining her stylist abilities and received opportunities to work on national ad campaigns. René has a wide knowledge of wardrobe, off figure, fashion, props, tabletop, room and set conception and design, and production coordination. She works in advertising, editorial, catalogs, and film, both locally and nationally in studio and on location. Her collaborative work has won awards from Alt. Pick, The Show, and Applied Arts Magazine.
