Jodie Harsh has it all - a fierce look, refined taste and witty personality. The London icon in hot-pink lipstick is without a doubt the most striking DJ, television personality, party planner and fashion muse to hit the Capital this Millennium, and is undoubtedly the reining Queen supreme over international nightlife.
Jodie's main project for the past five years has been Circus, a nightclub brand she has built up to become the epicentre of London cool. Former DJ sets include Roisin Murphy, Peaches, William Orbit, The XX and Riva Starr while renent performances include Jessie J. The party has moved across prestigious London venues over the past five years and has attracted Kate Moss, Amy Winehouse, Matthew Williamson and Kelly Osbourne as loyal fans. This summer Circus is taking over an area of Lovebox festival in July, then setting off on tour throughout October and November. There is also talk of a record label...
Over the past few years Harsh has become established as a prominent guest DJ who has been found spinning records at Fashion Week parties, showbiz bashes and clubs around the UK, America and Europe. Recent DJ appearances include events for Swarovski Fashion Rocks, the Q awards, MTV, Diesel, Oliver People, Urban Junkies, Absolute, Sony, Roxy, Julian Macdonald, Basso and Brooke, Converse as well as supporting Robyn on the London leg of her world tour. Jodie’s house music sets have taken the DJ to New York, Singapore, Milan, Moscow and Pacha Ibiza, playing with Swedish House Mafia.
Harsh's unique look is a culmination of the world's hottest designers, and London's freshest new talent. Adorned with garments from Pugh to Prada, she is at fashion’s frontline and spotted at Fashion’s front rows across town. Jodie advocates emerging designers and was crowned the ultimate queen of style when she walked the runway in Naomi Campbell’s Fashion For Relief event, alongside Cilla Black and Cheryl Cole. She has also strutted down the catwalk for Agent Provocateur while her party partner Kate Moss cheered from the front row. Jodie has blogged for Vitamin Water at London Fashion Week.
Photographed for fashion bibles Pop magazine by Mert and Marcus, French Playboy by Rankin and Sunday Times Style by Perou, now Jodie is working closely with photographer Tim Bret-Day on a photo project based around the Circus nightclub world.
Jodie's formal training took form in a degree in journalism at London College of Fashion, while published work includes an essay in The Hedonist's Guide to Life book, as well as contributing to an array of fashion magazines and a weekly column in the Metro newspaper. Harsh has found herself in the Out Magazine100 list of the world’s most influential gay people as well as the Independent’s Pink List, and has given a speech at the ICA as part of their annual fundraising gala.
Holly Shackleton of i-D magazine stated, “ Party girl, DJ club promoter and fashion muse – Jodie Harsh is London’s favorite platinum blonde. Armed with a fist full of MAC make-up, Jodie is behind Friday night’s mind-blowing Circus parties and with her fluttering eyelashes and perfect pout Harsh DJs to make you dance! Glitter and high-heels at the ready”.
There is no doubt that Harsh's wit, humour and appearance enthrals anyone who views her, and has arguably lead her to become London's most successful gender challenging personality of recent times. Jodie Harsh has become the Real Queen of England!
