Frances Brunner is a designer from Louisville, Kentucky, driven by themes of personal transformation, self-discovery, and sustainability. Her work begins with the question, "Who would we be without our limiting beliefs?" and aims to inspire introspection, encouraging wearers to reflect on their untold stories and limitless potential. Holistic sustainability forms the foundation of my practice, where she focuses on eco-friendly materials and create garments that evolve with the wearer. After being featured in Vogue Hong Kong as a finalist in the 2023 Redress Design Awards and earning recognition for her BFA thesis collection, WORTH WEARING WH1TE, her vision for the future is to build a brand that pushes the boundaries of sustainable fashion and fosters deeper connections between the wearer and the garment. Brunner’s hope is that Lucky Boy will inspire a global movement toward intentional living, self-expression, and continuous transformation.

“The most important would be the Redress Design Awards collection (blue/on stage), as this is their photo provided to me so I will need to credit them. The other photography is with a local photographer, Nicholas Santo.”
