About
Jessie Andrews is a self-made entrepreneur, designer, actress, and cultural tastemaker whose career spans fashion, film, music, and experiential retail. Founder and CEO of four successful businesses, Andrews is widely recognized for building culturally resonant brands that blend creative vision with commercial impact. In 2010, just three months before graduating high school, Andrews relocated to Los Angeles to pursue film and television. She quickly became one of the few award-winning adult actresses to successfully cross into mainstream culture, earning recognition as an “It Girl” from GQ. She soon transitioned into high-fashion modeling, appearing on the covers of Harper’s Bazaar, Numéro, LOVE Magazine, and Grazia. Parallel to her work in fashion, Andrews established herself as an international house music DJ and producer, performing at major festivals including Ultra Music Festival and Stereosonic, with residencies across multiple countries. Before the age of 21, Andrews quietly launched a fine jewelry passion project that evolved into Bagatiba, a minimalist line known for its timeless design and personal symbolism. The brand quickly became a celebrity favorite—worn by the Hadids, Jenners, and Kardashians—and grew into one of the top-performing stores on Shopify. She later launched Basic Swim, offering attainable, minimalist swimwear. Andrews oversees all ventures from her New York headquarters, 1201 B Studios, guided by a design philosophy that prioritizes inspiration over rigid seasonal cycles while emphasizing sustainability.
Her innovation in e-commerce and brand building has been recognized by Forbes, Vogue, Dazed, i-D, and The Face. She also founded Dodge & Donate, a charity dodgeball event that brings artists and creatives together in cities worldwide to give back through community-driven initiatives. In February 2021, Andrews launched Tase Gallery, a hybrid retail-gallery concept designed to connect product, art, and people through immersive experiences. The gallery showcases Andrews’ brands alongside artists such as Hugo Comte, Bryant Giles, and Fong Min Liao, with collaborators including Flos, Bulgari, Zara, and Vogue. An extension of the space, Tase Home, debuted with a collaboration with Nordic Knots, photographed at the iconic Stahl House. On screen, Andrews made her mainstream film debut in Hot Summer Nights, produced by A24, alongside Timothée Chalamet. She later appeared in Season 2 of HBO’s Euphoria, sharing the screen with Zendaya and earning widespread coverage from W Magazine, Vogue, and The Cut. In November 2025, Andrews stars in her first lead role in the psychological thriller Love Bomb, released on Amazon Prime Video. Looking ahead, Andrews is developing an all-in-one membership platform launching in 2026 to empower creators through tools, access, and community. Across every medium she touches, Jessie Andrews continues to challenge convention—cementing her reputation as a modern muse and visionary entrepreneur.
