Born and raised in New York, Lyn Devon received her degree at Brown University and went on to study at Parsons.
A graduate of Brown University where she majored in Art History, Devon began her romance with textiles in the theater, first as a Costume Designer with the Brown University Theater Department and later at the Metropolitan Opera Company in New York.
In 2002, Lyn began work with Zac Posen’s design team on his first four collections and then went on to works as an assistant designer for Ralph Lauren. While working at both Zac and Ralph, Lyn started a custom-only design atelier out of her apartment, designing and sewing clothing for an exclusive list of private clients. This allowed her to cultivate her design philosophy with a unique approach that brings the customers needs to the forefront of her creative process.
