Sea New York was founded by childhood friends Sean Monahan and Monica Paolini, who grew up together in Newburgh, New York. Their lifelong friendship forms the foundation of the brand, with Monica bringing an eye for vintage-feeling pieces while Sean contributes a more modern, clean aesthetic. This collaborative vision has created a distinctive design language that is quietly inviting and elegantly balanced. The brand is known for its romantic silhouettes and classic cuts with distinctive use of lace, embroidery, knits and technical fabrics. Sea's collections are simultaneously effortless and optimistic, romantic and boyish, featuring flowing dresses, ruffled blouses, and embroidered tops. Each season, the duo continues to refine their aesthetic for the modern customer who relies on Sea for their day-to-day wardrobe, creating pieces that serve as tools for self-expression rather than overwhelming the wearer's personality.
