KATE BARTON

Chosen as one of the CFDA’s “Rising Stars” and WWD’s “Ones to Watch”, in just over a year, Kate Barton has become a name to know in the New York fashion scene. Her truly one-of-a-kind approach to draping and garment making set her apart from the crowd, with beautifully dyed pieces that are uniquely hung on the body, almost taking on another dimension. This season, Barton added to her initial offering with separates that are sure to wow buyers. She’s moving at her own pace, showing that slow and steady really does win the race.

With a focus on technology, shape-engineering and avant-garde draping methods, the brand’s sculpturally draped garments explore innovative approaches and hold serendipitous sustainable advances. The brand’s fabric-first approach, ingenious cutting methods, and unconventional material combinations exceed the limit of what expected evening wear looks like, and feels like, to wear. 

Kate’s approach is experimental rather than referential. She delves into developmental fabric with innovative and sustainable manipulation methods to give her experiential creations perpetuity. Her fabric-first approach is a sustainable solution that creates maximum volume without excess or layered fabrics. The brand advocates for causes that will lead to positive change, aspiring to build a brand that gives back to organizations in need; fiercely advocating to make a change in her community.
