GEOFFREY B. SMALL for Women

Geoffrey B. Small is a pioneering designer known for his artisanal, sustainable approach to luxury clothing. Inducted into Paris’s Chambre Syndicale in 1993, he champions handcraft, traditional techniques, and recycled design, producing fewer than 500 highly detailed pieces each season in Italy. Since 1979, he has pushed fashion forward—founding the Area Paris show for independent designers and influencing global trends from recycled fashion to medieval and climate-focused design. Rejecting mass-market systems, Small insists fashion is an art form meant to elevate quality, tell the truth, and improve life, creating garments made to last for decades.
