About the Designer

Douglas Hannant strikes a balance between modernism and romanticism with an ease that is decidedly American. He succeeds in juxtaposing sportswear and couture, day and evening with a youthful regard. Hannant’s designs are simple in shape but rich in fabrication and texture. With his debut collection, he intended to fill a void in the American luxury market with “Modern Classics” and for more than a decade, his clothing has been coveted by both socialites and celebrities.
