Geoffrey Mac (born March 24, 1977) is an American fashion designer. Life and career Mac attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he earned his BFA in 1999. It was in Chicago where the Geoffrey Mac brand was officially launched in 2002, selling to top retailers that included Marshall Field's flagship store, who recognized Mac with the "Distinction in Design Award". It was, however, the Patricia Field boutique in New York City that was first to place an order for his latex designs. His designs are featured in the book Generation Fetish (2001) by Lee Higgs and major publications. In 2003, the Fashion Group International selected Mac for the "Style Makers & Rule Breakers Award for Apparel". In 2004, he was further recognized in the Chicago Tribune as the "Young Designer of the Year". One of his designs was acquired for the permanent collection of the Chicago Historical Museum. Mac moved to New York City in 2004, where he worked briefly with the prominent designer Cynthia Rowley. It was not long before he established himself independently and developed a following for his show-stopping custom designs with celebrity clients such as Deee-Lite, and Lil' Kim.

Mac was the subject of America's Next Top Model, Cycle 16 - Episode 4, the legendary "fire challenge".
