St. John Knits is a Newport Beach-based luxury fashion house known for its knitwear and related lifestyle pieces. Founded in 1962 by Marie Gray, who co-founded the company and served as its chief designer, the brand began with a single knit shift dress and grew into a full collection distinguished by luxe finishes and meticulous hand embellishment. It operates through a vertically integrated network of workshops, stores, and offices worldwide. Its products reach customers through high-end specialty retailers in 19 countries, 37 company-owned stores, and the brand’s e-commerce site.

The company targets luxury consumers seeking enduring, elegantly tailored clothing with a distinctly American sensibility. It is part of the Lanvin Group, and in March 2026 Mandy West was named chief executive officer.
