About Katy:
Katy is originally from Amsterdam but grew up just outside of Cleveland, Ohio in a liberal town called Lakewood. She discovered her passion for fashion after visiting a seamstress aunt back home in Amsterdam.There she willingly watched her aunt sew. After that Summer, Katy was enthusiastic about making her own clothes and thus a designer was born. Katy has her lovely aunt to thank for the point towards the right path.
What are your inspirations?
The two main elements that drive my entire collection is surfing and the deep blue Ocean. The power of the sea makes me channel every aspect of it to create a sporty yet feminine array of clothing.
Who is your role model and why?
Katy stated that apart from the obvious ones like her family and friends.In terms of the fashion world, she always looked up to the late Yves Saint Laurent. She continues to explain that it was his determination to build a name of for himself that sparked her attention and perhaps is her fuel for staying motivated.
What are your plans for the future?
Graduating is the first thing on Katy's mind at this point. She hopes that that would be a stepping stone to reaching other dreams like potentially working for a respectable company in their design department. Katy is hopeful of the future and is excited to see what it has in store for her.
Which designer would you love to work with and why?
As an innovative designer herself, Katy is thrilled at the idea of working with either Rodarte or Proenza Schouler. She believes that each designer is impeccably astonishing at what they do best. Rodarte for their extraordinary kniting techniques and Proenza for their astounding and refreshing prints.
