During an eventful, three-year stint, she plied a tasteful, aristocratic brand of couture occasionally spiked with toughness or subversion. Waight Keller scored the British designer of the year award for women’s wear at the 2018 Fashion Awards in London, and made the Time 100 List list in 2019.in 2017 after an acclaimed six-year tenure at Chloé. Before that, she spent six years designing Pringle of Scotland.

Boasting a strong background in knitwear and men’s wear, Waight Keller served as senior women’s designer at Gucci during the Tom Ford era, and had also worked at Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein earlier in her career.
