ABOUT THE DESIGNER

Caroline Duszynski was born outside of Seoul, raised in Buffalo, New York, and is currently based in New York. Her designs work to combine influences ranging anywhere from Tokyo to L.A.—and everywhere in between, to create new identities.

Most recently, Duszynski has been designing for Rowing Blazers as the sole designer—in partnership with the founders. She is the Senior Designer for Men’s, Women’s and Accessories across all product categories, from concept through bulk production. In addition, she is the sole designer for the brand’s additionally owned labels, Arthur Ashe, and knitwear brands, Warm & Wonderful and Gyles & George. She also spearheads all design and product development for exclusive collaborative capsules with global partners including Gucci Vault, Café de Flore, Grateful Dead, MLB, ‘47 Brand, Hunter, Sperry, Babar, Murray’s Toggery, Arc en Ciel, JAMS World, U.S. Open, and most recently, U.S. retailer, Target.

She was previously the innovative and strategic designer responsible for the launch of Faherty Women’s Ready-to-Wear collection. Duszynski worked directly with the founders from its beginning years with exclusively swim and resort-wear through its years of exponential growth as DTC and wholesale in outerwear, soft and structured wovens (tops, bottoms, dresses + jumpsuits), cut-and-sew knits, and sweaters. Faherty expanded from three to 40+ retail stores with the launch of wholesale with Nordstrom, Shopbop, and Nuuly to name a few. During her time as designer, Faherty’s ecommerce business increased triple digits, leading to improved profitability.

She is a doer, team player and proven visionary ready to take on her next challenge.
