What makes your style stand out?

My style stands out because I follow my own vision and intuition. I design and style by the motto, “If you find beauty in something, don’t wait for others to agree with you.” I create and wear what moves me, what sparks curiosity, and what is authentic to me.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment is seeing my creations on the Oscars red carpet! As a film buff, I imagine my designs moving under the cameras, capturing the glamour and drama of the night, and feeling the excitement of seeing my work celebrated on the world’s biggest stage for movies. Plus, it would be nice to hear “I’m wearing Katie Reid tonight!”

What would you do with $20,000?

I would bring my dream line, Katie Reid to life. I’d invest in designing my first collection, producing pieces that feel meaningful, but fun. I’d focus on strong branding, creative direction, and a launch that captures my mission. “Katie Reid” is more than just a name, it’s a tribute to where I come from. “Reid” is my dad’s name, a reminder of the strength, creativity, and support that shaped who I am. Using it as my brand name keeps my roots close as I build something of my own.
