Presented by Jack Weisel
My name is Jack Weisel. I represent my sister, the acclaimed New York fashion designer Heidi Weisel.
Heidi was renowned for her fashion forward modernist evening wear, admired for its bold elegance, sleek lines, and effortless femininity. At the height of her career in the 1990s and 2000s, her collections were featured at Barneys, Neiman Marcus, and the finest boutiques nationwide. Her gowns graced Hollywood’s red carpets and Manhattan’s most stylish women, establishing her as a defining voice in American design. Her talent was further recognized with pieces held in the permanent collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Sadly, Heidi passed in her prime. Today, I seek to place over 150 of her favorite designs with fans and collectors who value her artistry. These are timeless creations that have never been worn and are impeccably preserved. This is a great American story told through art and fashion, one that deserves to be lauded and celebrated.
I would love to explore the possibility of a sale of the collection, in whole or in part. Your appreciation of Heidi’s work would be invaluable, and we’re happy to adjust the values to best suit your clientele. I am sending along the Heidi Weisel retrospective with a broad range of her most iconic designs. Enjoy them well.
With kind regards,
Jack Weisel

Known for the understated glamour and simple elegance of her designs, native New Yorker Heidi Weisel debuted her collection with six black evening pieces, captivating prestigious retailers and press alike. The collection was soon featured at New York’s premiere retailers including Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and Barney’s New York. Inspired by luxurious fabrics, Heidi began experimenting with knitted cashmere, discovering ways to incorporate it into her designs. Creating evening wear with the ease and comfort of sportswear, Weisel paired the versatility of cashmere with the fluidity of silk chiffon and satin to create her signature look, modern evening gowns in an unexpected mix of fabrics. Cashmere and knits have since become the mainstay of her collections, and remain Heidi’s passion.
Extensive editorial coverage and celebrity clientele quickly followed. Often gracing the red carpet, her clientele includes Brooke Shields, Oprah Winfrey, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Elizabeth Hurley to name a few. Heidi has appeared on The Morning Show, Extra, CNN and E! and has been profiled in Women’s Wear Daily, InStyle, House Beautiful, and her designs have been featured in all major fashion publications. In addition to her own collection, Heidi has collaborated with several nationally recognized retailers and global brands, including HSN, Gilt Groupe, Saks Fifth Avenue, Standard Textile, and most recently Dressbarn.
A graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology, Heidi’s designs have been exhibited at the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and have been selected as part of the permanent collection. Heidi won the celebrated Gold Coast Fashion Award for “Excellence in Design” in 2000 and is a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
