She studied fashion design and art history and worked as a designer for several Korean brands before moving to Los Angeles, where a trip in the summer of 2015 inspired her to launch her own label. Designed in the city, the collections pair neutral palettes with modern silhouettes for true California comfort.

Pieces are made in South Korea in fabrics such as wool, alpaca and cashmere blends, cotton and satin, chosen to be comfortable and durable.

The Series NY

USA · Est. 2016 · Mid-range

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. The brand celebrates crafts long tied to domesticity and undervalued as "women's work", choosing damaged or unfinished quilts rather than cutting up pieces in perfect condition. 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.
