Introducing: Katie Thompson
One thing that will set Style and the City apart from any show that has happened in Sioux Falls is the fact that we are PROUD to announce Katie Thompson: garment and fashion designer.
Katie Thompson is a local midwest designer who focuses on business-casual perfect for the modern day women. Obtaining a degree in Apparel, Merchandising and Design from Iowa State University, Katie has previously showed her first collection at Omaha Fashion Week and will show again at OFW in August. Not only does Katie design her own clothing line but she also designs the print she uses. With the use of a digital textile printer Katie transforms her own photographs and repeat designs into a textile design and prints them herself on fabric with a Mimaki Tx2 1600 printer. Katie has started an online business and hopes to expand over the next few years.
"The collection was inspired by Jackie Kennedy and the 1960s. It's intended for fall/winter of 2014. The floral print consists of photographs I took while traveling to Italy. The line caters to the modern, corky business woman who cam easily transform from a daytime to nighttime look." - Katie Thompson
We think the fact that she designs her OWN prints to go on her fabrics sets her apart from many designers and are thrilled that she is coming to share her works with us!
