SEA
Sean Monahan grew up in Newburgh, New York. He graduated with a degree in finance from Pace University and went on to work in marketing. When the company he was working for was bought by a larger corporation, Monahan decided to leave- not knowing his next endeavor would be in the fashion. Monahan’s glimpse into the industry came while helping a friend with casting models and styling for runway shows and various photo shoots. He soon began taking on more jobs as a casting agent and as his involvement in the industry continued. It was also during this time that Monahan realized he had the ability to create and execute an entire collection. Sea debuted in Fall 2007. Sean Monahan's decision to create clothing was something that surprised even him. What began as a handful of easy to wear, fun dresses made for close female friends soon became a playful line of clothes focused on comfort and versatility. Sea's carefully crafted, unique pieces have an obvious life to them, which was Monahan's original hope even before starting the line.
