Lucas O’Brien is a Brooklyn-based costume designer and stylist. He holds an MFA in Costume Design from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. 

Lucas was adopted from Colombia as a child, and shares a wonderful multi-ethnic family from Boston, MA. His love for performance, story-telling, and art is central to his personal and creative identity. Lucas has always loved fashion and clothing. As a kid he learned to sew as the only male kid at a senior quilting guild and his favorite television programs are Project Runway and Antiques Roadshow – ask me what a vinaigrette is, it's not just dressing! His studies and professional career have taken him from assisting designers like Paul Tazewell, on exotic photo shoots with Tonne Goodman, and most recently as a Market Editor for Vogue Magazine.

Lucas approaches design through a historical and fashion driven lens. He loves to read about clothing history and thrifting is always more of a archeological dig. His love for collecting and combining materials is not only a mode of storytelling, but a dear pastime.

Outside the studio, Lucas enjoys cooking, photography, enjoying the myriad of New York activities in and out of the arts world, and returns to Massachusetts to be with family whenever time allows.
