Hadley Clark moves fluidly between fine art and garment design, having earned her BFA in Painting from The University of Kansas in 2001 and a second BFA in Fashion Design with Honors from The New School | Parsons Paris in 2010. Her studio output—formerly a fashion line structured around the traditional seasonal model and sold out of her eponymous boutique in Kansas City and a handful of stores nationally—has evolved into a series of holistic creative practices including curating, collaborating with other brands regionally and nationally, commercial production, environmentally-driven design, the development of concept-driven sewing workshops, and lecturing at the University of Kansas and the Kansas City Art Institute. Clark’s work has been featured with the Hammer Museum Restore (Los Angeles, CA), Cumulus International Design Conference (Paris, France), the Gothenburg Fashion Fair (Gothenburg, Sweden), and Milk and Honey (Taipei Thailand), and she has worked for Tillman Lauterbach, Diane von Furstenberg, Lee Jeans, Ugg, and Ghada Amer.
