Gary Graham was born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware, and graduated from the School of Art Institute of Chicago. Gary Graham’s background in costume and textile design is apparent, season after season, in collections imbued with insouciant luxury and a sense of history. The designer launched his own line in the fall of 1999. His first collection, referencing a historical silhouette re-interpreted with modern drape and ease, was made entirely of garment-dyed quilted silk organza and produced in the basement of a historic Tribeca flatiron building. Now, still faithful to his original aesthetic, the designer operates out of the garment district. Gary Graham is attracted to the beauty in lighness and dark, opposites, contrasts, and cause and effect. This approach is reflected in his trademark fitted jackets, fluid dresses, blouses and slouchy knits. His items are rendered in a rich and varied palette and texture achieved by meticulous dying and washing processes.
