Liesl Gibson, company founder and chief designer, trained at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology and has worked as a designer for top international fashion brands.
When Liesl’s daughter was born, she was eager to use her passion for sewing to create stylish, fun, and unique clothing for her little girl. As she shopped for sewing patterns, she was disappointed with the selection and fit of what she found. Frustrated and wanting more, Liesl created Oliver + S. In addition to her sewing patterns, Liesl designs an Oliver + S line of fabric for Moda. In 2010 she was given the FabShop Network's Rising Star Award, an honor bestowed by independent fabric store owners across North America.
