Jordyn’s Closet Featured on News 8 Austin: Fashion Week Story
Thursday, August 19th, 2010Jordyn’s Closet, a boutique in Dripping Springs, TX, was featured on News 8 Austin during Austin Fashion Week. The article is about Jordyn’s Closet owners, Debbie and Ron Wikso. You can read it here:
If you think the only celebrity buzz in Dripping Springs is Jesse James picking up a cheeseburger at the Sonic, you’re wrong. I was in Dripping Springs on a random errand and happened across Jordyn’s Closet, a boutique specializing in women’s clothes and one-of-a-kind gifts.
Like many boutiques, at first glance, you might not be sure what to expect when you first pull up, but as soon as you step inside, it’s adorable. The store has a great selection of women’s and junior clothes, as well as clothes for tweens, babies and lots of unique gifts. The prices are great too. I’ve seen many of these clothes and gifts in boutiques in Austin and the prices at Jordyn’s Closet are significantly lower.
What’s equally as cool as the boutique is the story about how the boutique came to be. The shop is owned by Ron Wikso and his wife, Debbie. Wikso is actually a famous rock-n-roll drummer who has played with legends like Foreigner, Cher, Richie Sambora and David Lee Roth, just to name a few.
He has toured all over the world and is currently playing with the Gregg Rolie Band. If that name sounds familiar, it should. Rolie is a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and co-founded two of the biggest super groups in history, Santana and Journey. He was the lead singer and keyboard player on songs such as Black Magic Woman, Evil Ways and more. Wikso and Rolie have been friends since their days together in a band called The Storm.
After hearing this amazing story, I just had to know one thing. How in the world did he end up in Dripping Springs?
