My style is the phoenix of my sobriety. I became a fashion designer and a style icon at the age of 40. Creative freedom to be authentic
We would like to thank you for supporting Kate Fusilier in this years competition. Your participation allows us to empower the Elton John AIDS Foundation in their mission to end AIDS for everyone, everywhere.
What makes your style stand out?
It's Lisa Frank meets Cosmic Cowgirl. It's a mix of colors , prints, and aesthetics. I love to wear a hat with a tall crown or a cowboy hat with anything. I think mixing vintage, goodwill, upcycled, or something designed by me is what really makes my style unique. I don't shop at boutiques and I wear my sunglasses at night and indoors. I really just stay true to myself with my septum ring and my tattoos. I have found a balance of having unique & unconventional style in professional settings
What’s your dream fashion moment?
As a fashion designer, my dream fashion moment would be to work with stylists and creative directors from publications. To dress red carpet, musicians, and editorials. To have them come to me with an idea and I make it come to life.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would 10000% invest it into my company Cosmic Collective. I am a fashion designer who just showed at NYFW and NOFW. I want to be able to infuse my style and my view of the world into my designs and share with others! Hiring people around me to help me sew as I'm the sole seamstress. That would help me grow so much quicker to be able to create more and a higher turnaround. To get better equipment and to be able to take design, sewing, styling courses to have ongoing education to learn more!
