Kathryn Elizabeth Collection
I'm 20 years old was born and raised in San
Diego, the youngest out of 4 brothers and sister.
At the young age of 7 years old, I discovered my
love of sewing. With days spent working and reworking clothes for my Barbie’s as a young child,
I learned to use my grandmother’s sewing machine.
By the time I completed my senior year of high
school, I also completed my first collection that
was inspired by my love for the hippie generation.
Years later, upon returning from a trip to Paris
and London to visit fellow design students at the
Atelier Chandon Savard school in Paris, I knew
that my future collection was going to be inspired
by the British rocker flare of London. I am currently looking to fill in the gaps that I sees in the full
figure market and to be THE full figure designers
for real women with an edge.
My collection is a full figure collection for a 20-30
something female that is chic with a rocker-edge.
The artful combination of glamour and street inspired my collection. Women’s curves inspired
the construction and my love for color and a fight
against the phrase “black is slimming” affected
my color choices. Going against the grain I created a collection that is full of bright hues and bold
patterns. I pictured my muse roaming the streets
of London unabashed and feeling confident in my
stride while wearing designs that are not seen in
full figure wear today. The finished product incorporates both boldness and finesse, just like my
herself.
