Creative Director
Introduction
Courtney Ogilvie, Creative Director and former owner of Fit & Supply and LA Makers, built her career guiding brands from concept to market with precision and purpose. Her career spans more than two decades of technical mastery, brand development, and operational leadership. She has worked across every link of the apparel chain, from patternmaking to production to narrative creation, and each chapter adds a distinct layer to who she is as a designer today.
The Foundation
Fit & Supply established Courtney's reputation for precision and full-spectrum product execution. She guided emerging labels including Fear of God, Pyrex, Golf Wang, Frame Denim, Will Fry, and Barneys Private Label from concept to market, shaping collections through fit engineering, textile expertise, merchandising logic, and narrative clarity. Here, she learned how to turn vision into reality without losing intention or integrity.
Building the Engine
With LA Makers, Courtney expanded from development into large-scale manufacturing. Running a 60-person facility in Downtown Los Angeles gave her command of workflow, quality, systems, and the day-to-day operations that hold a brand together. LA Makers is where she became a builder of companies, not just products, learning how discipline, accountability, and process elevate creativity.
Reclaiming the Love
C/CHRST marked a personal turning point. After creating for people who did not value the work, Courtney stepped back to rediscover why she began designing at all. The result was a womenswear line stocked by Barneys, Colette, and United Arrows, a demonstration that she could originate a narrative-driven brand rooted in her own voice rather than someone else's.
Redefining the Category
Les Tien is the culmination of her technical fluency and her refusal to accept limitations. By elevating everyday sportswear with luxury-level construction and fabrication, she challenged assumptions about what the category could be. The respect the brand earned came from the work itself, with craftsmanship, intention, and execution that made even the simplest garment significant.
Courtney Ogilvie's career is a continuous progression. She has mastered the craft, learned the systems, confronted difficult moments, and emerged with clarity of purpose. Her story reflects depth, persistence, and capability, the evolution of a designer who understands every facet of the industry and is prepared for its highest levels.
