The Series NY is a gender-neutral, upcycled American designer clothing label, founded in New York in 2016 by Ella Wiznia. Wiznia started the brand while recovering from an eating disorder, wanting to make clothing that felt different from the unrealistic bodies she saw in fashion advertising. Learning about the industry's environmental impact, she committed to working only with secondhand and sustainable materials, and the label champions clothing without gender, for all bodies. The Series makes one-of-a-kind jackets, quilted chore jackets, shirts, shorts, jeans, pinafores and accessories from vintage quilts, crochet blankets, embroidery, antique and deadstock textiles. Every piece is made from start to finish in New York by its small in-studio team or skilled local artisans.

Apart from some crochet made with organic fibres, garments use only pre-existing materials, and its makers set their own rates to earn a living wage. The Series has been featured in Lampoon Magazine, appeared in Vogue's street style coverage of New York Fashion Week and held a residency at Burke Mercantile.
