Jamie Carter is a star designer at David Campbell Fashions.

Background[]

Jamie has spent the last five years creating lots of acclaimed designs. However, lately she's run out of ideas. She worries that if she doesn't come up with something soon, she'll be fired.

On the series[]

Mallory Keaton becomes an apprentice at David Campbell Fashions. Jamie befriends Mallory and offers to show her the ropes. Mallory has created a line of clothing for school called "Dress for Your Fear of Success," which she shows to Jamie. Jamie plagiarizes Mallory's designs, passing them off to David Campbell as her own work. David is so impressed that he immediately shows the designs to everyone, causing Mallory to realize that Jamie has stolen her work. Before a show, Mallory confronts Jamie and asks her how she could betray her like that. Jamie explains that in the fashion world, you're only as good as your last design. She gives Mallory the opportunity to tell David what she did, but Mallory is too soft-hearted to tell him. After the show, Jamie confesses to David because she couldn't live with herself otherwise. She goes to the Keaton family's house to apologize to Mallory.
