Gabriela Hearst

After more than a decade spent in design in New York, Gabriela honored her family’s heritage through the launch of her eponymous label in fall 2015, as well as taking over the operations of her father’s ranch in Uruguay.

Gabriela wanted to create a brand that reflects a slower pace and process – where things are made with care and detail, where tradition is more important than trend, and where there is a purpose to every piece.

In December 2020, Hearst was named Chloe’s new creative director, succeeding Natacha Ramsay-Levi. Her first show for Chloe was in March and she has remained the creative director of her namesake label.

Gabriela is the 2020 winner of the American Womenswear Designer of the Year at the CFDA Fashion Awards. She is the winner of the 2016-17 International Woolmark Prize for Womenswear and the 2018 recipient of the Pratt Institute Fashion Visionary Award.
