Whenever things are going wrong for Jazmin -- whenever she's fighting with mom, or stressed out about work or life -- Grandpa and Nona are always there. Jazmin turns into a little girl when she's with her grandparents. This is where she is totally protected. And, in typical Sicilian fashion, Jazmin is protected with love and food... lots and lots of food. And the grandparents ALWAYS take Jazmin's side when she fights with mom (needless to say, that drives Susan crazy).

Whenever things are going wrong for Jazmin -- whenever she's fighting with mom, or stressed out about work or life -- Grandpa and Nona are always there. Jazmin turns into a little girl when she's with her grandparents. This is where she is totally protected. And, in typical Sicilian fashion, Jazmin is protected with love and food... lots and lots of food. And the grandparents ALWAYS take Jazmin's side when she fights with mom (needless to say, that drives Susan crazy).
Cast | Joey
Joey is Jazmin's little brother, and yes he does everything you would expect a little brother to do... everything from intentionally peeing on the toilet seat before leaving the bathroom, to shooting her date in the ass with a BB-gun just as he's trying to kiss her. But through all of that, they really do love each other, and are as close as siblings can be (even when they waant to kill each other). Joey is also a "pint size paparazzi" who takes all the photos for Jazmin's show as well as other red carpet events.
Cast | Susan
"The Momager" - Susan is both mom and manager and in a word... she's tough! She's a single mother who used to run a construction company, and brings that hardcore Sicilian business edge to her daughter's career. Often Susan has a hard time separating the mom and the manager role. She is very demanding of Jazmin's time and has very high expectations.

Cast | Jazmin
Jazmin is a twenty-year-old fashion designer trying to balance her normal everyday life with building a worldwide high fashion brand. When she is with her friends, she's sweet, playful, and even a bit dorky. But, when she's in work mode, she's one hundred percent business as she thrives in a world which most young girls only dream about. She lives at home with her mom, little brother and grandparents and constantly lets her social life get dominated by work.
About House of Jazmin
On the surface, Jazmin Whitley is just your average American twenty year old. She lives in a modest suburban home outside LA with her Mom and brother. She also spends a lot of time with her Sicilian grandparents who live in the house next door. When she's not shopping, she likes to drink lattes and gossip about boys with her high school girlfriends. Scratch a little deeper however, and what you have is a young lady on the verge of adulthood who happens to be a talented fashion designer determined to become one of the best in the world.
House of Jazmin follows the day-to-day adventures of this young fashion ingénue as her life flits from ordinary teenage fun in the burbs to the stresses of running her own clothing line label and the high fashion dramas of catwalk shows. Her girly demeanor and innocent outlook belie the fact that Jazmin already has 6 collections under her belt. She takes her business very seriously but running your own label at the tender age of 20 can be difficult when you are the same age as your models and your buyers are much older than you.
There is little chance that Jazmin will get lost in the glitz and glamour of the fashion business any time soon, because both of her feet are kept firmly planted on the ground by her close knit family.
Ultimately this series is about what happens when you mix a young girl following her dreams with the very adult demands of the fashion business. All while she still tries to remain true to her suburban teenage life.
