Heather Harlan is a modern contemporary womenswear brand that delivers versatile, timeless, everyday style for the woman who rolls up her sleeves and does it all. Heather playfully juxtaposes feminist ideals with the traditions of menswear and workwear, creating pieces that balance the masculine and the feminine, and are at once practical and chic, effortless and elegant.
The collection features shirts and shirt-dresses, tailored jackets, workwear- and military-inspired pants and jumpsuits, handmade-by-women knitwear, and feminist t-shirts–reinvented classics that are easy to mix into your wardrobe and designed to live for years to come. Luxe fabrications in natural fibers like cotton and wool are sourced from Europe and Japan, creating an elevated but relaxed aesthetic. Embroidered messages of hope and solidarity are a brand signature and speak to a love of old world handicraft and a belief in the power of joyful resistance.
The collection is developed and majority produced in NYC, with the objective of supporting the local economy and small business, achieving high quality workmanship, and being hands-on at all stages. Made in NYC/USA and sustainable, responsible production are core brand messages.
The team seek to support and empower women through deliberate partnerships in manufacturing and brand messaging. Seasoned designer and founder Heather brings a thoughtful, unique perspective based on more than 2 decades of experience designing and building businesses for powerhouse womenswear brands like Diane von Furstenberg and Rachel Roy.
With this collection, she is her own muse, designing for everyday life as a modern woman, and in her own unique and distinctive language of style.
