About
Hi, I’m Emily Larsen, a New York–based creative director, apparel designer, and co-founder of BANA New York.
For more than a decade, I’ve developed collections for brands including Madewell, La Ligne, Calvin Klein, and Lafayette 148 New York. My experience spans cut and sew, knits, wovens, and tailoring.
My approach combines a strong creative point of view with the technical and commercial understanding required to bring exceptional product to market. I work across concept, color, silhouette, and materials through technical development, fittings, sourcing, production, merchandising, and launch. Throughout my career, I’ve collaborated closely with creative teams, merchants, mills, vendors, and factories in the United States and internationally.
Today, I lead the creative and business direction of BANA NEW YORK while partnering with select brands on fractional design leadership, seasonal collections, and product development.
