Paula Cushman – About the Designer
Paula Cushman was born and raised in Argentina. At age 19, she moved to the United States to pursue a degree in Political Science at Providence College. Upon graduating, she met her American husband, moved to New York, and had four children: Tomas, Camila, Isabela, (who are twins) and Matias. While raising her children, Paula attended Parsons School of Design.
In 2007, Paula was inspired by her passion for design and her experience clothing her own four children to create a unique and high quality children’s line. In fact, Paula designs many of her garments with one of her children in mind. Paula’s twin girls have inspired her to go back to the classic styles, while adding her unique designs. In turn, her two boys have helped Paula understand the need for high quality fabrics that fulfill both form and function.
