Lizzie Varda

"Through the Eyes of a Countess"




























Bio
Lizzie Varda is a womenswear and award-winning costume designer from a small town in Connecticut and is now based in NYC since moving to attend Parsons School of Fashion. Raised by a museum curator with a deep appreciation for history and art, and nurtured by her involvement in theater during her formative years, Lizzie's artistic sensibilities were honed from an early age. With a skill set extending beyond mere design, Lizzie is skilled in illustration, embroidery, applique, and embellishment skills, further enriching her creative repertoire. This along with her upbringing continues to serve as the basis of her creative vision, infusing her designs with a profound sense of narrative and heritage.
Her profound love for history and art is palpable in her work, as she intricately weaves together threads of the past with her avant-garde interpretations. Each garment is a testament to her meticulous research and unwavering commitment to understanding the nuances of bygone eras, all the while reimagining them through a contemporary lens.
