The documents, unsealed as part of the DOJ's financial investigation, span emails, arrival notifications, and business records. They trace a relationship that began with a warm introduction from Epstein's social circle and ended with Zuccarini's business plan sitting in his inbox.

The Introduction: A Fashion Founder Brought Into Epstein's Circle
On March 13, 2012, an intermediary identified only as "Cami" sent an email connecting Jeffrey Epstein and Jennifer Zuccarini directly. The message described Zuccarini as "the founder of Kiki de Montparnasse, was the Design Director at Victoria's Secret, and is starting a new lingerie and women's ready to wear line."
"Jeffrey needs no introduction, other than he has a fantastic mind. I will let you two take it from here." — Document vol00010-efta02018025-pdf, March 13, 2012
Zuccarini replied the following day. "It is a pleasure to meet you," she wrote to Epstein. "As Cami mentioned, I'm launching a new brand in the next 6 months. I would love to connect with you and discuss further."
Within 48 hours, a meeting was scheduled.
The Visit: 9 East 71st Street, March 15, 2012
On the morning of March 15, 2012, Lesley Groff — Epstein's longtime personal assistant — confirmed the appointment by email. "Just reconfirming your appointment with Jeffrey today at 12:00," Groff wrote. "9 East 71st Street between 5th and Madison."
Zuccarini confirmed she would attend. That afternoon, a second email from Epstein's staff landed in his inbox with four words: "Jennifer Zuccarini is here." Document vol00010-efta01991025-pdf is an arrival notification sent to Epstein's vacation account at 3:59 PM, confirming she was inside the townhouse.
The 9 East 71st Street address is Epstein's primary Manhattan residence — the property that would later become central to the federal investigation.
The Business Plan: Fleur du Mal Financials Forwarded to Epstein
The day after the meeting, on March 16, 2012, Zuccarini sent Lesley Groff the financial sections of her startup's business plan. The email chain — preserved in document vol00009-efta00417368-pdf — includes four Excel spreadsheet attachments: Corporate.3.xls, FDM_Total.3.xls, Internet.3.xls, and Retailnew.3.xls. FDM stood for Fleur du Mal.
"I have attached the financial sections of my business plan," Zuccarini wrote. "I didn't get a chance to share my presentation with Jeffrey yesterday — I usually don't send it via email — but if he has any further interest I'd be happy to provide more information."
Groff forwarded the files directly to Epstein's personal email with the note: "tremendous. thank you Jennifer!"
The Network: Still Connected Through 2013
The contact did not end in March 2012. Document vol00009-efta00668567-pdf — a Twitter notification forwarded to Epstein's inbox — records that @JZuccarini followed @jeffreyepstein1 in July 2012, four months after their first meeting.
By July 2013, Zuccarini appeared again. A LinkedIn notification sent to Epstein showed that his new connection Cami Clark — the same intermediary who had made the original introduction — listed Zuccarini as one of her top connections, identified as "Founder at Fleur du Mal."
Document vol00010-efta01965385-pdf places Zuccarini visibly within Epstein's mapped social graph more than a year after their initial contact.
In the same month, Zuccarini sent a separate invitation — preserved in document vol00009-efta01134863-pdf — advertising the Fleur du Mal pop-up shop at 255 Centre Street in Soho: "It is the last two days of our Fleur du Mal pop-up shop... We will be serving Lillet Rose all weekend!"
What the Archive Shows
Forty-four documents in the Epstein archive reference Zuccarini across two volumes of the federal record. The pattern follows a structure seen repeatedly in the archive: an introduction through a trusted contact, a meeting at 71st Street, and the submission of financial documents.
Zuccarini went on to build Fleur du Mal into a recognized luxury lingerie brand. The documents do not allege any wrongdoing on her part. What they show is the scale of Epstein's network — and how a startup pitch in March 2012 placed one fashion founder inside a federal archive unsealed a decade later.
