Miss Claire Sullivan Marks Five Years with Dover Street Market Takeover and Angel Tee Launch

other · 2026-09-14

Miss Claire Sullivan celebrated her brand's fifth anniversary with a party at Dover Street Market New York. The event featured go-go dancers, Starface stickers, New York Liberty's Ellie the Elephant, and a surprise performance by Zsela. Sullivan, a 2026 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalist, also toasted the release of new ready-to-wear pieces, including a frilly black bolero, pearl necklace, bag charms, and the hero Angel T-shirt with ruffled lace shoulders. Reflecting on pivotal moments, she cited the Addison Rae VMAs look as significant for custom and performance wear, but said the most resonant feeling comes from quiet moments in her studio, thinking of her 15-year-old self sewing in her mom's basement. Sullivan noted an appetite for purchasable items, leading to the T-shirt despite her earlier reluctance. She emphasized trusting her intuition and doing things differently, while maintaining the brand's bespoke experience. The event took place at Dover Street Market New York.
