about designing three dresses for Kim Kardashian West in only two weeks, plus her take on slow fashion, dream collaborations and the environmental impact of social media micro trends.No, actually. My mom was a very practical woman, so my sister and I were never exposed to the exciting side of fashion. It wasn’t until we started secretly collecting magazines and watching television that everything changed. I was amazed by fashion, and it eventually became my creative outlet.

Photography by Greg SwalesApparently, my brand Kathryn Bowen had been on her radar for a while, but it wasn’t until November 2021 that Kim’s team reached out over Instagram and asked if I could create three looks for her upcoming fragrance campaign. I only had two weeks to pull it off! From that moment, it was just a crazy whirlwind of sketching, developing and collaborating with her team.
I really want to dress FKA Twigs, Hunter Schafer and Grimes. FKA Twigs and Grimes both support emerging designers and have their own unique, ethereal look. I think some of my garments would fit into their aesthetics really well. They’re both incredibly talented, and I’m always inspired by their originality. As a trans actor with a supercool sense of style, Hunter Schafer is bringing so much inclusion to the industry and making a huge impact in the fashion world.
