hile walking around the designers showroom at London Fashion week, I came across a rather interesting print... got closer and nearby the collection was a lady, almost hidden behind a phone, texting perhaps... My first instinct is to vanish from the situation (I know I do love my privacy when I'm doing whatever on the phone) but this time I said to myself "You are here, the moment is NOW!" So went on and ask her if she was the designer. A bit shy or annoyed (I cannot say) young lady make herself available to all my questions. I browse all the items hanging from the rail and my enthusiasm overcame the kinda awkward feeling I had due to the situation previously described... Katie Ann explain the complete process for her creations. She has a studio in London were she designs the pattern to be print on each fabric, were vinyl has a prominent position (her favorite I believe). Then each piece is cut by hand if necessary and finished according to the designer creation. Other very light fabrics and handmade knitwear as well. On the first pic, the last dress on the right was love at first sight for me. See below her favorite! There is more about Katie Ann here and on her website Highly recommend keeping an eye on this designer as she excels at creativity and versatile original pieces. |
