ABOUT LIZZY

Lizzy Gee is a Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary artist, fashion designer, and poetic storyteller whose work lives at the intersection of sustainability, self-expression, and social transformation. An honors graduate of Pratt Institute and founder of the fashion brand Lizzy Gee, she blends tactile craft with bold narrative, using fashion as a vessel to challenge norms, reclaim beauty, and celebrate queerness in all its fluid, radiant forms. From coloring rainbows on her legs, to altering her dolls’ clothes, to convincing her guy friends to wear matching outfits with her—Lizzy has always found it natural to express her ideas with a visual language. Lizzy saw the design process as a self-empowering tool to make her ideas transcend to reality and foster a genuine inclusivity.  By age 11, she was creating entire collections from inspiration to runway.  A native of Philadelphia, Lizzy moved to Brooklyn, New York to pursue her dream of creating a sustainable, inclusive fashion brand. After graduating in 2018, she continued to develop her brand and has showcased her collections in Fashion Weeks in New York, London, Paris, and Philadelphia. 

Beyond design, Lizzy is a connector: collaborating with local makers, mentoring emerging artists, and advocating for inclusive representation within fashion. Her Instagram doubles as a visual diary and living moodboard, documenting not only her collections but her evolving journey as an artist, survivor, and soulfully-dressed visionary. Not only did she launch her business within the first of year of graduating, but also founded a sustainable New York Fashion Week initiative called IMPACT NYFW.  Practicing sustainable design with her brand, she wanted to further transcend eco-conscious methods in regards to how designs were presented by acting on another passion- event production. IMPACT is an annual, alternative New York fashion week platform for emerging, sustainable designers to showcase their work while making an impact beyond the runway by donating ticket proceeds to an environmental non-profit. Along with IMPACT, her award-winning designs have been showcased in galleries at Moore College of Art and Design, University of the Arts Philadelphia, Pratt Institute, and Screaming Mimi's NYC front window display.  While studying fashion at Pratt, Lizzy apprenticed for many successful designers, including Christian Siriano, Badgley Mischka, Mara Hoffman, and Nicola Formichetti. Not only have her colorful designs been worn by music artists, such as, Grimes and Kimbra, but they’ve also been highlighted in publications including British Vogue and Schon! magazine.

 Her designs are intimate acts of resistance—handmade garments stitched from deadstock and upcycled textiles, cut with intention and love. But Lizzy doesn’t just create clothes; she creates conversation. With every look, post, and poem, she invites her audience into a world where softness is strength, color is truth, and fashion becomes a medium of healing and defiance. Lizzy is continuing to build her sustainable brand with the mission of giving the world innovative perspectives of beauty and functional design by breaking the boundaries of social constructs limiting our potential as individuals.

ABOUT THE BRAND

Lizzy Gee is an all-inclusive, sustainable designer brand based in Brooklyn, NY that combines fun and functionality. Lizzy creates chic, transitional garments and accessories locally using recycled, upcycled, deadstock, and organic textiles. Beginning in 2010 and officially founded in 2018, her award winning designs blend romantic styles, edgy composition, and bold textiles. Each gender-free collection consist of a combination of one-of-a-kind and made to order pieces that are attempting to redefine and blur the boundaries between gender performance, aesthetic feasibility, and contemporary history. Influenced by mythology, romantic nostalgia, and the lived experience of body, gender, and identity, Lizzy’s work moves between editorial fantasy and raw vulnerability. Whether she’s casting resin earrings from rose petals, painting poetry across ombré silks, or styling dreamy, inclusive shoots featuring her own designs, each creation carries her distinct visual voice—fierce, lush, and deeply human. By balancing romantic styles with edgy composition, Lizzy's work engages with female empowerment and deconstructs restrictive definitions of masculinity- ultimately designing for a personality, not a demographic. Many of Lizzy’s designs feature a variety of textures, contrasting colors, and small yet symbolic details. In everything they do, the brand honors craft, care, and community. Their work isn’t just worn—it’s felt. It’s a love letter to those who never saw themselves in the seams of traditional fashion. Through every thread, they reminds us that beauty can be both powerful and personal, and that true style isn’t about fitting in—it’s about breaking free.
