KATIE PERRY
DESIGNER
1. Background? Katie has worked as a stylist, manager and buyer for labels and stores such as Brown’s, South Molton St in London, as well as Jag, Oroton and David Jones in Sydney. After gaining valuable insight into the business and commercial side of the fashion world she made the decision to follow her dream of creating her own fashion label.
2. Favourite piece & why? How could I choose just one piece. I really do love my entire collection so instead I'll talk about the pieces I have been wearing the most recently…The dress I wear the most is the New York. It is the most falttering dress I have ever worn with the rouching able to hide multiple areas. The new Spring Bali Vest is fast becoming a staple in my wardrobe as I throw it over anyting I am wearing whether it’s a white Amalfi tee or a Byron singlet.
3. Favourite quote? “Love like you have never been hurt, dance like no-one's watching and live like it's your last day on earth,”
4. How would you spend your perfect day? Going for a run by Bondi beach, breakfast with friends, coming into the design studio for an event and finishing the evening with a champagne cocktail and surrounded by family and friends.
5. Best part of what you do? Seeing a customer come out of the dressing room looking and feeling amazing... I get such a thrill when a customer comments on how much they love a piece in the collection.
