Renowned for designing utilitarian, functional, ageless, and seasonless outerwear, Georgia envisioned a wardrobe solution that could meet the needs of the global traveller across different climates, seasons, and occasions for longevity, through an intelligent and creative system of reversible garments and modular accessories.Inspired by the furniture design of celebrated minimalist artist Donald Judd, following a trip to Marfa, Texas, the concept (and name) of Marfa Stance was born mid-flight during Georgia’s time as a transatlantic commuter. She envisioned a reversible, modular garment —starting with the original Signature Quilt— that could effortlessly adapt and renew to the wearer’s lifestyle over time for both style and function, whoever you are and wherever you go.Each Marfa Stance piece is made in Italy and crafted for life, reflecting the brand’s commitment to the growing movement toward buying less but buying better. Its modular and reversible design allows wearers to renew and evolve their Marfa Stance items endlessly, whether for style or function. At the core of the brand is Georgia’s dedication to fostering an inclusive, multigenerational community, empowering customers to design their own unique Marfa Stance pieces.About Our Company, The Justice Dept.A female-focused advisory, consulting, and law firm advocating for female founders, talent, execs, and brands.
