An American in Amsterdam David L. Turner launched his women's and men's line Kathryn Milan during the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Amsterdam in January 2014. For his elegant fashion and red carpet clothing he chose the grandeur of the former palace of justice in Amsterdam. There, he gave the audience something new, yet unexpected. With the birth of his ready to wear women’s collection Kathryn Milan and men’s collection KM24, David L. Turner creates a new evolution of luxury, bringing his sense of simple elegance and style, with an infused influence of European class, to the fashion world. David L. Turner shows the story of the lady Kathryn Milan – who symbolizes the signature of the fashion brand – and the man who adores and admirers her. The Kathryn Milan collection invites the 24 hour representative woman to coordinate her pieces as she likes and she thinks is right for the occasion. As Mr. Turner states: “The Kathryn Milan collection for me is the wonderful feeling that I have when I reflect on all the amazing women throughout my life that have style and grace. And for the men that love them. Our ambition is to have Kathryn Milan recognized internationally so that the global audience will identify it with the high standards and simple elegance it exudes, a touch of contemporary yet classic style.” Kathryn Milan’s silhouette has clean lines with tailoring always in mind. She uses all key garments like pants, skirts and jackets. Leather is a material that runs through all items in the collection. Turner works with colorful silks for both the woman and her man along with luxurious fabrics. As the style is elegant, timeless and well-crafted the clothing can be seen as investment pieces. The goal of Kathryn Milan is to provide its clients with a brand that is synonymous with luxury, sophistication, great style, impeccable detail, comfort and wear ability. At the same time, Turner wants to expand the business with beautiful accessories, lifestyle products, and online services, with the objective of laying the foundation for a global expansion of the brand.
