Katharine Story

Favoring timeless, confident beauty over seasonal trends, the label balances bold, hand-dyed color with flowing, unstructured shapes that are ultimately defined by the wearer’s body. I am a native Californian, and received my fashion education in London during my 20’s – I am self taught – had a stall at Camden Market and worked at Harvey Nichols – I returned to California to raise my son and open my flagship boutique in Laguna Beach, as well as a boutique in LA for several years. I specialize in one-of-a-kind art pieces, but also have a line I manufacture and sell to bigger stores. My design ethic – “international, effortless, chic”

I started my KYS Yoga collection because I do yoga many times a week and I was tiring  of wearing all black. When I could not find anything that I liked I made a pair of yoga pants  for myself and got so many other students wanting them, I was inspired to do a chic, rockstar,  yogi line – the ideas kept coming and I am just getting going on this – now I look forward to dressing for yoga!
