louisa keith is a New York-based women’s ready-to-wear designer who launched the dazzlingdelight collection in 2010. From an early career in the financial industry, louisa observed the challenges of dressing powerfully and maintaining one’s femininity in professional environments limited to the “skirted suit.”

Her passion for studying the historical influences of formal menswear on women’s clothing led to pursuing an education in fashion design at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. After several years apprenticing with global fashion houses, louisa applied her experience with men’s and women’s wear to bring dazzlingdelight to life. A self-professed grown-up tomboy, louisa approaches her collections as an exploration of the strong, modern woman.
