Morphew is a cultural project grounded in history, craftsmanship and visual storytelling. Drawing from over a century of rare and archival vintage textiles, each one-of-a-kind piece begins with material that has lived a previous life—antique lace, heritage silks, intricate embroideries and storied fabrics sourced across eras. These textiles are carefully upcycled into new, handmade U.S. garments that honor their origin while reshaping them for the present.
Every design begins with the fabric itself. Rather than following trends, the material determines the silhouette, resulting in modern forms that feel intentional and sculptural. Structure and drape frame the body with strength and confidence, revealing shape through line and proportion rather than exposure. In addition to ready-to-wear and collectible designs, Morphew offers custom gowns for special events, crafted with the same dedication to historic textiles and modern form.
Alongside its in-house creations, Morphew maintains a significant vintage collection ranging from authentic period pieces to archival runway designs from houses such as Issey Miyake, Tom Ford, Jean Paul Gaultier and other influential designers. The collection extends beyond fashion to include antique home pieces, art and a curated selection of one-of-a-kind statement jewelry.
Morphew’s flagship is located in New York City, with additional locations in Miami and Southampton, with more destinations to come. Each space reflects the spirit of the garments—historical yet modern, refined yet effortless.
At its core, Morphew is a luxury-sustainable practice where preservation and reinvention coexist. By working exclusively with historic materials, the brand extends the life of exceptional textiles while transforming them into garments designed to endure beyond seasons.
