Born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware, and a graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Gary Graham's background in costume and textile design is evident season after season, in collections rich with casual luxury and a sense of history.
Graham is attracted to light and dark, opposites, contrasts, and cause and effect, discovering the particular beauty in their dichotomies. This approach is reflected in his trademark fitted jackets, fluid dresses, blouses and slouchy knits rendered in a rich and varied palette and textures achieved by the meticulous washing and dying processes that are identified with the Gary Graham name.
