Lisa Flannery

Traditional Arts

Lisa Flannery started her career in Fashion as an apprentice to a couturier in Baltimore. Eager to learn more, she was accepted into the Fashion Institute of Technology, from where she graduated with honors. From there, she has worked steadily in the New York fashion industry for decades, for notable brands such as Veronica Beard, Elie Tahari, Kenneth Cole, Nautica and more. Her love of the process, from concept to production, has kept her involved in Design, Technical Design, Product Development and Production, sometimes working on small projects for herself and others, such as launching a capsule collection of Surfwear which was shown at Lincoln Center for New York Fashion Week in 2013. In addition, she is currently involved in refurbishing vintage pieces, redesigning existing items and creating original, one of a kind pieces, sometimes integrating painting and other crafts into her work.
