Geren Lockhart - Raised by artist parents, Geren Lockhart grew up between New York’s infamous Soho district and Northern California’s Bay Area amidst the spirited, bohemian art scene of the 1970’s and 80’s.

 

The first two decades of Lockhart’s professional career were spent as an advertising production executive and stylist working for world-class firms Chiat/ Day and Partizan.

 

While working as an ad executive in Manhattan, she rounded out her already busy schedule with a Fashion Design program at Parsons.

Drawing on inspiration from her extensive travel and the diverse worlds of art, film, music and architecture, Lockhart established Geren Ford in 2004. The runaway success of the brand amongst both contemporary customers and fashion editors alike has been attributed to her solution-oriented approach to design and worldly sense of chic.
