Geoffrey Mac, born on March 24, 1977, pursued his formal education at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1999. His design career began officially in Chicago in 2002 with the launch of his latex clothing company. Early in his career, Mac achieved recognition, including winning Marshall Field’s “Distinction in Design” contest, leading to his line being sold at their flagship store. In 2003, the Fashion Group International honored him with the “Style Makers & Rule Breakers Award for Apparel.” The following year, in 2004, the Chicago Tribune named him “Young Designer of the Year,” and one of his designs was acquired for the permanent collection of the Chicago Historical Museum.
In 2004, Mac relocated to New York City. After a brief period working with designer Cynthia Rowley, he established his independent brand, developing a clientele among music artists and performers. A key collaboration for Mac has been with Zaldy Goco, a fashion designer, providing expertise in constructing complex garments and handling challenging materials such as latex. This partnership led to projects for artists including Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball Tour, Scissor Sisters, Deee-Lite, Lil’ Kim, and Britney Spears’ 2011 Femme Fatale Tour. Mac’s work has been featured in publications such as Rolling Stone, V magazine, WWD, The Daily News, The New York Times, US Magazine, and Billboard.com.
Mac gained broader public recognition through television appearances. In 2011, he was the subject of the fourth episode of season 16 of “America’s Next Top Model,” where contestants modeled his designs in a runway challenge featuring pyrotechnics. He made his official New York Fashion Week runway debut on February 12, 2012, at Exit Art. His career progression further diversified his client roster to include Debbie Harry, Icona Pop, Neon Hitch, Björk for her Vulnicura NYC residency in 2015, and Madonna for her Rebel Heart Tour in 2015. In 2020, Mac was announced as the winner of season 18 of “Project Runway,” and his “Midnight Rider” collection was subsequently featured in the 2021 NYFW. He has also collaborated on fashion lines with artists like Cazwell and Sharon Needles.
