Lia Kes

Lia Kes is a native of Kibbutz Afikim, which is in the northern region of Israel. After serving in the Israeli Air Force for two years, she received a Bachelor's Degree in Fashion Design from Shenkar College in Tel Aviv. Kes then relocated to New York City in 2000, determined to do her own collection even though she only had one hundred dollars to her name. With the help of a friend she created a T-shirt line. They instantly sold to some of the top boutiques in NYC and were featured on several television shows. In the meantime, Kes was managing a leather store in order to keep her life and business going. With her success she added more pieces to her line and eventually established it as her own signature collection. Today the Lia Kes collection is featured in some of the most prominent stores across the US & Europe. Fans include Kate Hudson, Kim Kardashian, Giuliana Rancic, Chelsea Clinton, Kristi Yamaguchi, Maggie Grace, Angela Basset, Catt Sadler and Sarah Mclachlan. Her unique pieces have been featured in Cosmopolitan, Daily Candy, In-Style, Life & Style, Lucky, Marie Claire, OK, US and WWD. Kes believes in showing intellect, as well as sensuality, in order to achieve more in life as a woman. The collection is being created under that belief and to serve that purpose. Her innovative designs reflect her zest and her passion for life.
