Kate’s designs are joyous and celebratory. She draws on many visual sources: renaissance clothing, African tribal jewellery, Japanese printed textiles, twenties and thirties European fashion drawings, the flower paintings of Georgia O’Keefe. She uses a wide range of materials: tin-plate embossed with gold or silver leaf and finished with enamel; silver curved tubing; curled dyed nylon wire; feathers; velvet flowers; Swarovski glass crystals; sequins; buttons;
rubber; felt.
