Call it animal instinct. Our fifth grade stylist zeroed in on an adorable owl top and a furry fox tail while shopping the racks at the Ilene Oren Showroom in midtown Manhattan. Jessica was a natural stylist, but the future veterinarian’s passion lies with animals. As caretaker of pets Coco the dog, cats Lucy and Rosco, Kloudy the rabbit, Harley the gerbil and a fish called Bubble, Jessica is always on the move. After all, she reminds, she has to dress comfortably to chase after Coco. It may seem like a full house, but she thinks there’s room for more creatures. “My dream pets are guinea pigs and ferrets. I pick them up every time I go to the pet store,” she says, despite the fact that ferrets
“smell pretty bad.” —Angela Velasquez
