An unparalleled enthusiast in the fashion world, Noreen Francis is a distinguished designer, stylist and humanitarian renowned for her effortless take on style and tireless movement to eradicate global hunger. Having immersed herself in fashion design for nearly two decades, Noreen combined her creative and humanitarian passions to birth her upcoming venture, Studio, a showroom space housing the exclusive Noreen Francis Collection and offering a cross-section of accessories and lifestyle pieces sourced from indigenous countries around the globe. A portion of proceeds from Studio are donated to MissionProject, a New Jersey–based organization founded by Noreen in 2011 to address the needs of orphan and disregarded children all over the world. Noreen believes giving is practical—“ It’s sometimes easy, more often inconvenient, but always necessary. It’s the ability to use one’s position of influence, relative wealth and power to affect lives for the better. To give to others in need is a singular action highly achievable and beyond rewarding.”-NF

Raised in the Bronx, New York, Noreen was exposed at a very young age to the worlds of fashion, music and the harshness of global poverty. With her mother’s influence, innate style and desire to teach her children the power of giving, she developed both a very strong passion for design and the issues surrounding poverty. After studying Design at F.I.T. and the Art Institute, Noreen started her career at a New York based apparel start-up and was quickly promoted to Designer. She has since worked at such companies as Ralph Lauren, Nike, Perry Ellis, Donna Karan, J.Crew and Levi Strauss Co.

Noreen launched her eponymous contemporary collection in 2016. Drawing on vintage-inspired fabrics and silhouettes, her line is evocative of the clean and functional sensibility, which surrounds her life. The collection offers pieces for the modern and polished woman and man who is trend-conscious, loves fashion, exquisite tailoring, functionality and is keen on the sustainability of the world.

Noreen Francis, established in 2016 by Noreen F. Heard, is named in reverence of a rich heritage in fine clothing. The fashion brand preserves the master standards of exquisite fabrics, impeccable details, and perfect silhouettes. Noreen Francis translates these values to its womenswear and menswear collections. Focusing on exceptional textures and precise tailoring, the brand combines a timeless perspective with subtle attitudes which forms an irreverent classic signature. The brands’ collections also explore the strength of minimalistic shapes and are based on both understated basics and ostentatious silhouettes of uncompromising quality.
