The Brand
CAYCEE BLACK is an independent luxury fashion house, founded in New York in 2010. Every collection begins on canvas, with original paintings infusing unique fabrics and sumptuous Italian silks. Woman-owned and operated, CAYCEE BLACK finds beauty in contradiction: fluidity and structure, masculine and feminine, the familiar and the unexpected. Made in limited quantities from one-of-a-kind fabric and luxury deadstock, each piece is shaped by exceptional craftsmanship, developed through longstanding partnerships with New York City ateliers and independent makers.
The Ethos
The CAYCEE BLACK universe draws from artistry, folklore, history, and enduring relationships to inspire transformation through what we wear. We believe in the beauty of metamorphosis rather than the finished form. Our customer is ever-changing, never defined by one thing. Clothing is meant to be worn, coveted, remembered, and passed down, gathering new meaning with every wear. CAYCEE BLACK shifts with you, offering bespoke garments that invite transformation rather than prescribe it. This is the art of metamorphosis.
The Designer
Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Caycee moved to Manhattan to study at Parsons School of Design, earning her BFA in Fashion Design. There, she began exploring the juxtapositions that would come to define her work, blending the refinement of New York luxury with the raw, expressive influences of her Texas heritage.
Caycee launched her eponymous line in 2010, quickly earning recognition from the fashion press, including Best New Designer accolades from WWD, Lucky Magazine, and Vogue UK. In 2021, she expanded the brand into couture with pieces from her runway collections. Her work brought her to Project Runway for Seasons 19 and 21 and has been worn by Haylie Duff, Drew Barrymore, Michelle Williams, Lilly Singh, Regina Spektor, and Solange Knowles.
Caycee Black now enters a new era as an independent luxury fashion house, uniting a lifetime of artistry with the craft of couture and ready-to-wear.
Responsibility
Caycee Black is built on relationships, artistry, and craftsmanship above all else. Production stays limited, and materials are chosen with sustainability and conservation in mind wherever possible. Meeting the highest standards of responsible luxury is the goal the house is continuously evolving toward.
