Batsheva Hay is an American fashion designer.[2] [3]

Career

In 2016, Hay visited a dressmaker to have a favorite vintage Laura Ashley dress remade, and decided that she wanted to focus on fashion.[4] She established her own label, Batsheva.[5] Her designs are modest yet whimsical - stiff collars, tiered skirts, and "prints that are almost uncomfortably naïve." Hay's designs have been worn by Gillian Jacobs, Jessica Chastain, Lena Dunham, and Natalie Portman.

In 2017, one of Hay's dresses was included in Vogue in their roundup called “How to Wear Fall’s Least Sexy Trends, from Clogs to Corduroys.”[6]

In 2018, Hay was a finalist for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund[7] and was awarded $150,000. She was part of New York Fashion Week in September 2018.[8] [9] Ella Emhoff, the stepdaughter of Vice President Kamala Harris, and Hay co-designed Emhoff's inauguration day dress in January 2021.[10] [11]

Hay has been a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) since 2019.[12]

She attended the 2021 CFDA Fashion Awards as a VIP guest along with other professionals in the fashion industry (designers, creative directors, CEOs, etc.) such as Alexandre Birman, Brett Heyman, Carly Cushnie, Christian Siriano, Cynthia Rowley, and Dao-Yi Chow.[13]
