Ru Jean is a London & Paris-based Black trans stylist and creative consultant passionate about telling stories that center authenticity, empowerment, expression, and energy.

With 10+ years experience in image making across fashion editorials, music videos and creative consulting for major festivals and record labels, Jean’s expertise lies in creating worlds and visuals that resonate. 

Immersed in the ballroom scene, Jean’s work is inspired by electric energy that is alive with movement, that builds on the dance floor, in the sweat and light and beat of black queer bodies moving together. Ru Jean captures that pulse and channels it into fashion as a form of storytelling. Jean is committed to narrating authentic expression through styling that is deeply rooted in real, lived experiences and the unapologetic truth of queer identity. Their work captures the nuance of queer existence: messy, beautiful, glamorous, resilient, joyful, powerful, and raw. Ru Jean doesn’t just style bodies, they honor lives, creating visuals that mirror the complexities and beauty of what it means to live fully, authentically, and proudly.
