Samantha Pleet debuted her namesake collection for the fall 2006 season, intertwining elements of the dark, mysterious, and fantastical-dandies and rogues of centuries past and lands afar with a sense of modernity that is distinctly Brooklyn. Her signature rompers, jackets, and chic day dresses are now coveted across the U.S. and abroad, and she has developed a specialty in dressing indie bands such as (Au Revoir Simone, Apache Beat, Grizzly Bear, Yeasayer, and Holy Hail). For fall 2008, Pleet introduced Patrick Pleet, a menswear line co-designed by her husband, architect Patrick McGovern. Recently she received the Ecco Domani Sustainability Design award for her work on the premier collection of Bodkin. The 27 year old Philadelphia native and graduate of Pratt, also paints, acts, makes films, and plans to start a band if she ever has time. SAMANTHA PLEET WOMENS BACK TO DESIGNERS INDEX
