New York-based designer Samantha Pleet has been charming everyone with her sartorial alchemy since her debut collection in fall 2006. Now into her 5th season, Pleet has been inspired by traveling the world in search of beauty and mystery.
The Pratt alumna established her design studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in spring 2005. Born in Philadelphia in 1981, she began studying many realms of the art world from a young age. She tried it all, but it was clear that fashion was her passion. She loved making clothes for all the various characters she and her friends could imagine and she still continues this practice today. Samantha brings her fantasies to reality with her dandy-inspired tailored jackets with matching rompers, mini dresses, and tunics.
