AUDRA NOYES

After a childhood and early education in Delaware, Audra Danielle Noyes completed her Bachelor in Fine Arts at the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2010, with a concentration in Fashion Design. She was awarded scholarships by Cotton Inc. and the YMA Fashion Scholarship Fund, as well as selected for the Style Lab Mentorship with Zac Posen. Upon graduation, Noyes was personally recommended by André Leon Talley to train under the direction of Alber Elbaz at LANVIN.

After relocating to Paris to work with LANVIN, Noyes developed her skills under Elbaz where she worked her way up through the design and production departments.  Eventually Noyes moved to John Galliano in 2012 where she joined as an Assistant Designer. With a wealth of design experience that included couture pattern-making, draping and illustration, she was compelled to launch her own brand AUDRA in 2013, debuting her collection during Spring ‘14 Paris Fashion Week.

Since launching AUDRA and making New York City the base of the brand, the collection has been featured in the pages of Vogue Italy Talents, Vogue Japan, Vogue Mexico, W Magazine, L’Officiel, and Tatler Russia, as well as web publications WWD, Refinery29, Manrepeller, and The Sartorialist.   AUDRA is seasonally reviewed by Vogue.com and featured as part of Vogue Video Fashion Week.  Additionally, AUDRA has been worn by many cultural leaders such as Caroline Issa, Kim Kardashian, Keke Palmer, Tracee Ellis Ross, Jane Larkworthy, Joana Preiss, Annie Greenberg, and Chloe King.
