Sea New York (SEA NY)

United States · Est. 2007 · Mid-range

New York is founded by childhood friends Sean Monahan and Monica Paolini, who launched this designer clothing brand in the late 2000s after Monica had spent nine years as Design Director at Betsey Johnson and three years as Head Design Assistant at Jill Stuart. The brand name takes its first three letters from Sean's name, and together the duo combines Monica's eye for vintage-feeling pieces with Sean's inclination toward modern, clean styles. Their considered aesthetic is quietly inviting and elegantly balanced, using lace, embroidery, knits, and technical fabrics to create collections that are at once effortless and optimistic, romantic and boyish. Based in New York City, the brand has built a devoted global following and is carried at Barneys, Neiman Marcus, and Saks Fifth Avenue, with each season drawing fresh inspiration from flea market and vintage finds.
