After studying fashion merchandising and design at The Art Institute of Atlanta, fashion and jewelry designer Harrison Morgan launched his eponymous label. Within six years, he had opened his own Manhattan showroom, sold to every major department store, and seen his creations worn by A-listers. Though he was born in Miami, raised in Atlanta, and lived in Manhattan for most of his life, Morgan also has deep ties to Palm Beach, having vacationed here for decades and sold his collection at local trunk shows. Five years ago, he made Palm Beach his primary residence at last and married interior designer Guy Clark. Together, they enjoy exploring Europe and visiting their lake house in upstate New York. Morgan serves on committees for the Cancer Alliance of Help and Hope, Center for Family Services of Palm Beach County, and 211 Helpline and supports the Compass Foundation and Darbster Foundation.
