Designers: Katie Ermilio

 

 As the granddaughter of Grace Kelly’s personal clothier, it’s easy to see a sense of history in Katie Ermilio’s clothes. From the iconic green jacket her grandfather designed for Augusta’s Masters Tournament, to the Eisenhower jacket he created for World War II, Katie’s legacy has inspired not only her love of fashion, but also the garments she creates, desigining clothes from the time she was 12, Katie continues to draw on the heritage that shapes her work.

At 26, a life-long education in textiles and tailoring acquired in her father’s custom clothing shop acquainted Katie with the principles of construction and fundamentals of design. Infusing each distinctly feminine piece with sharp tailoring and spft drape, her clothes embody the modern interpretation of timeless dress.

Following her love of fashion to New York City, Katie held internships in Vogue‘s Fashion & Features department before graduating to a position in public relations at Teen Vogue.

Today, Katie’s work has been featured on Teen Vogue‘s “Very” pages and in publications ranging from The Wall Street Joural to Lucky Magazine, WWD, Marie Claire and British Vogue, the NY Times style blog The Moment, Elle.com and Fashionista have each highlighted her collections and career in design.

Meet Mary Katrantzou event: backstage fever and a great show

Finally, the post that everybody waits the past two days. Sorry for the delay but  i had shot so many and so nice photos that was difficult to choose and then edit!!!

Last Wednesday I attended Meet Mary Katrantzou event. There was a fashion show with Mary Katrantzou's a/w 2011-2012 collection, but I was really lucky to have the chance not only to be backstage and shot wonderful photos, but also to meet Mary Katrantzou in person. She is such a cute, friendly and down to earth person! Who is Mary Katrantzou check here!

The clothes were full of colours and prints that make up your mood! Also so luxurious with swarovsky gems and silk and nice lines and lot of details! You can stare at them for hours, gazing the prints and never get bored! If you want a dress that would make an impression ....then Mary Katrantzou is for sure your designer!

Also, I would like to say a huge thank you to all the people from  L'oreal and Lancome that gave us the chance to attend this event and embraced us so warm from the very first minute that we were feeling completely relaxed and this was the secret of having a good time! Thank you for everything guys!:)

This was one of the best experiences in my blogging life so far! I am sure I am gonna to remember for a long time and I hope that I will be lucky to attend another show soon!
