A B O U T

Leila Gordon is a half Dutch, half American fashion designer based in Amsterdam and New York, cultivating her namesake brand through the use of natural fibers and pigments. Gordon advocates for the return to natural resources as an integral component in building an ecological future for the clothing industry. Her work centers on fostering meaningful relationships with place and exploring local sourcing opportunities within the Netherlands and Upper Delaware region.

Leila Gordon believes in the potential for designers to transform regional materials into enduring, community-serving goods, reflecting a vision of reconnecting with nature without exploitation. By shifting from a system focused on accumulation to one based on reciprocity, Leila Gordon creates clothing that serve as both a living expression of where you live and a symbol of the community to which you belong. The incubation of clothing is therefore ongoing; each collection takes time, and overlaps with the previous one, offering not just garments but a manifesto for change, inviting a reconnection with nature's rhythms and the participation of all genders, bodies, and ages.
