Abigail Lorick lives a life that is well-connected to her inner voice. She grew up surfing off Amelia Island, Florida and doctoring up her school uniforms as a kid. Now, as Co-Founder and Creative Director for Ansea the timeless lifestyle brand for women who love the water, she’s able to perfectly blend her childhood passions: water and fashion. The best part…Ansea is sustainable.
She shares her past experience as the ghost designer to Eleanor Waldorf’s fashion line in the iconic TV show Gossip Girl. That show catapulted her personal fashion brand, Lorick, as the audience of Gossip Girl deeply resonated with the point of view of the classic yet playful styles featured on the show. Abigail also had her design-hands in & Other Stories, Cynthia Rowley and Stance.
