Will Riddle

Will Riddle is a women's evening wear & bridal designer currently living in New York City. Originally from Paris, Ohio, Will honed his artistic abilities by painting and illustrating as a child before learning how to sew. As a graduate of The Fashion School at Kent State University, Will was among the first 50 students to be honored by the Council of Fashion Designers of America with the CFDA+ certification for his work in evening wear, he showed a capsule collection in Lincoln Center for NYFW three months after graduation, and took a bus with just two suitcases to begin grinding towards the dream of working in NYC fashion. Soon after his arrival, he was managing the atelier at 3.1 Phillip Lim, and later at Oscar De La Renta, where he was able to work with and learn from some of the greatest designers, drapers, pattern makers, and sewers in NYC... all before the age of 30. Will has worked with creative teams on many celebrity clients, including Michelle Obama, Nicki Minaj, Camila Cabello, Claire Foy, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Megan Markle, Zoe Kravitz, and many more. A lover of vintage cinema, glamour, and drama; Will believes there's never a shortage of glitz or fabric in a piece he creates. Taking bold risks and embracing his unique past has gotten him this far, but his ambition and drive for creating his own brand is what will propel him into the future.
