Brianna Lance is an American fashion designer and artist based in New York City.

Lance's career initially focused on fashion. She became the head designer for the environmentally-conscious brand Reformation from 2010 to 2015.[2][3][4]

In 2015, she was approached by lead guitarist and vocalist Freddie Cowan of the English indie rock band The Vaccines to design uniforms for their 2015 tour; she couldn't find anything suitable, so Lance decided to create her own menswear line called Basic Rights.[5] She got inspiration by studying the wardrobes of iconic male figures such as Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, and Muhammad Ali.[5]

Lance is drawn to creative pursuits, and her career in recent years has branched out in many artistic directions.[6] She was described by Harper's Bazaar as a "statuesque redhead with a sunny smile" and a "downtown cool girl" who is a "true modern-day Renaissance woman".[2] She has created different types of art as a painter,[7][2] a sculptor and a visual artist, sometimes working with textiles.[1][8] She was a disc jockey at Fashion Week parties, "spinning tunes with tomboy flair in slip dresses and Converse sneakers."[2][3] She has performed with the all-women band Bad Girlfriend.[9] A self-described "hippie at heart",[9] she wore fashion designs by Elizabeth Azen for the Women's March on Washington.[10]

Lance was born in San Jose, California in 1982.[1] She lives and works in New York City.[2]
