Gregory Parkinson

Gregory Parkinson is British-born but L.A.-based, and he has distinguished himself by successfully riding the wave of economic tumult by offering brilliantly conceived and reasonably priced designs. He pulled off a rare coup when First Lady Michelle Obama was seen in one of his fuchsia leopard-print skirts. Mrs. Obama has become a fashion icon in her own right, known for both her exceptional taste and her aversion to over-priced chic. That is exactly the kind of demographic Gregory Parkinson is targeting: average Americans who crave style and panache but don’t expect to pay through the nose for it. His collection of breathtaking apparel casts all pretensions aside, aiming instead for a simple, even sublime beauty.

Recently garnering much-deserved exposure as one of the top 10 finalists in the Council of Fashion Designers of America/Vogue Fashion Fund, Gregory Parkinson is quickly becoming a household name. You can find his extraordinary work here at Heist, where owner and operator Nilou Ghodsi has taken great pains to assemble some of the world’s top designers under one roof. Ever since Nilou opened Heist’s doors in 2004, she has earned heaps of praise from the fashion world’s cognoscenti for her unrivaled collection.
