Theia

is founded in 2009 by Irish designer Don O'Neill, who grew up in Dublin and moved to London after graduating from fashion college, later working in Paris for Christian Lacroix before eventually making his way to New York. The designer clothing brand takes its name from the Greek goddess Theia, known for her beauty and the power to make all that she gazed upon glow with light, a quality O'Neill channels into his luminous bridal and evening wear. After working for Gina Fratini in London and gaining couture training at Lacroix, O'Neill established Theia as a luxury fashion house specializing in intricate embellishments, flowing silhouettes, and delicate beadwork. The brand has dressed a wide range of celebrities including Taylor Swift and Emmy Rossum, and is celebrated for making couture-quality gowns at approachable price points.
