it sad to hear about the closed of M&J Trimming¹, a name so beloved in the fashion and creative industries.

As Lady Gaga said in the intro of her music video for “Marry the Night”:

You may say “I lost everything”
But I still had my Bedazzler
And I had a lot of patches
Shiny ones from M&J Trimming
So I wreaked havoc on some old denim
And I did what any girl would do
I did it all over again.

Many designers, from seasoned veterans to budding talents, have walked through their doors to find that perfect trim or accessory to elevate their projects. The words of industry giants like Jonathan Cohen, Christian Siriano, and Prabal Gurung² perfectly capture the essence of what M&J meant to so many.

As the world of fashion and creativity evolves, M&J Trimming was always a constant—a treasure trove of unique buttons, ribbons, silks, and the rarest trims that turned ordinary garments into extraordinary works of art. It’s a space where one could always count on finding that special finishing touch, whether for a runway show, a DIY project, or a personal design venture. The stories shared by designers about their connections to M&J feel like a tribute to the mark it left on the industry.
