GABRIELA HEARST
Gabriela Hearst dresses, knits, and shoes are synonymous with New York luxury. Raised on a ranch in Uruguay, Gabriela Hearst brings an eye for sustainability and tailoring to all of her garments. Some of our favorites include long knit Gabriela heart dresses and sweaters—perfect for colder days and classically paired with the designer's platform shoes. Flawless tailoring inspired by equestrian style as well as the streets of Manhattan set this designer’s eponymous line apart from the rest.
Gabriela Hearst Dresses: Why We Love Them
Nothing says elegance like this designer's luxe dresses, available in silks, cotton, and knits depending on the season. Pairing menswear-inspired shirt-dress silhouettes with a feminine sensibility, these dresses will become your favorite pieces no matter the season. Pair with a boot for a casual autumnal look.
Gabriela Hearst Shoes Will Elevate Any Wardrobe
Her sandals, boots, flats, brogues, and heels embody high-quality craftsmanship without sacrificing wearability. We were early fans of Gabriela Hearst shoes because of their effortless simplicity, wearability, and eye to detail.
Some of our favorite shoes include the Marion Boot and the Gil Shoe.
Gabriela Hearst Clothing Is of Two Worlds
Though the designer draws inspiration from her native Uruguay, Gabriela Hearst dresses, knits, and more embody New York at its finest. Filled with easy-to-pair yet sumptuous pieces, this line can be both casual or formal, though the designer came to prominence with her artfully tailored suits (as seen on Dr. Jill Biden on the evening of the inauguration).
Our Editor’s favorite pieces include Gabriela Hearst dresses, such as the flowing Django Dress in navy, and the Clive Dress, which features an equestrian-style buckle and graceful silhouette.
Fashion Meets Sustainability
Hearst is a leader in sustainable luxury fashion thanks to her use of high-quality, organic, and repurposed materials and emphasis on zero-waste stores. She attributes her environmentally-friendly approach to her upbringing in rural Uruguay where materials were in short supply. Though imagined in New York, Gabriela Hearst dresses and knitwear reflect the environs in which the designer grew up.
Future Minded Dresses, Knitwear, and Shoes from Gabriela Hearst
Since the line’s inception in 2015, it has been a favorite among New York women. The brand has garnered several awards, including the International Woolmark Prize for Womenswear, the Pratt Institute Fashion Visionary Award, a nomination for CDFA Womenswear Designer of the Year, and a nomination for the CFDA Swarovski Award for Emerging Talent.
Recognizing the quality of Gabriela Hearst dresses, shoes, and suiting, LVMH has recently made an investment in the line. At Ludivine, we look forward to partnering with more designers that share her eye for sustainable fashion.
Stylist Suggestion: Pair a Gabriela Hearst boot with a fall wedding guest dress.
The New Modern with Gabriela Hearst
Seemingly effortlessly, this line combines sustainable materials (close to half of their materials in recent collections are repurposed) and exemplary tailoring. Through Gabriela Hearst’s clothing, you sense her connection to two worlds: her ranch in Uruguay and her new home in New York City.
Pair a signature pair of shoes with a tailored pair of bootleg Nili Lotan pants for a classic look, or dress them up with an Emilia Wickstead dress. Alternatively, pair a Gabriela Hearst dress with a heel or dress it down with a boot.
