Originally hailing from Calgary, Canada, Elizabeth Kuzyk moved to New York to study fashion design at Parsons School of Design. It was there that she learned the technical skills of design and developed her individuality as a designer.

After Parsons, she worked with industry stalwarts Proenza Schouler, Zac Posen and Vera Wang, where she initially focused on couture. The emphasis on construction and detail, as well as creating one of a kind, unique garments are concepts that she has translated into Kuzyk. Originally, she was steadfast on working in couture, motivated to create the transformational moment where the wearer puts on a piece and radiates that beauty within us all. Elizabeth opened her mind to that moment not being reserved for wedding dresses or gowns.

Ultimately preferring to create ready-to-wear, Elizabeth saw an opportunity to use garments to make people feel empowered and at their most beautiful. Valuing craftsmanship and quality, Kuzyk aims to be timeless and thoughtful, a mainstay in a woman’s wardrobe. After three years in Los Angeles, Elizabeth is back in New York City opening the first Kuzyk showroom in Tribeca. Kuzyk is manufactured entirely in New York City and Los Angeles.
