Designer of the week Mara Hoffman!


Mara Hoffman born in Buffalo, NY is a New York based fashion designer.  She graduated from Parson's School of Design in New York City and studied at Central Saint Martins College in Arts and Design in London before launching her first ready- to-wear collection in 2000. Her designs inspired by nature, world travels, and fantasy creating one-of-a-kind prints.  Patricia Field, noted American costume designer and stylist, who has worked on the set of Sex and the City TV show, and the movie, The Devil Wears Prada, gave Mara Hoffman her first client base in NYC by featuring some of her dresses in her NYC boutique. Ultimately, the brand became more well known and expanded. From there, Mara Hoffman was able to launch her first swimwear collection in 2008, which she is most known for. In 2011, she was inducted as a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America and has recently hit a record year of growth.  She continues to expand in the number of stores that carries her clothing and participates in both the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York for the Fall and Spring Ready to Wear as well as Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Swim in Miami.
