Essentials: Katie Eary, YEEZY Designer
The cult menswear leader shows us what edgy luxury means.
Cult menswear designer Katie Eary’s brazen design aesthetic is changing the landscape in the industry – alongside her eponymous line, Eary is an ex-YEEZY designer (now freelance). Bright orange hair and edgy luxe garments to match, she’s an uncontested leader among independent designers.
Kim Kardashian to Mario Testino, an hip-hop giants (including 2 Chainz) to high-end retailers like Mr. Porter have borrowed Katie’s look – bright and psychedelic iconography precede her reputation. Her originality doesn’t subscribe to trends, and her work ethic is sound.
Exploring Eary’s everyday items represent the woman behind the lighting vision. To match her hair, a monogramed Fendi 2Jours handbag complement the Agent Provocateur undergarment. To anyone else, police tape and snips would be eccentric, and she counts La Mer and Bleach London cosmetics to complete her non-stop schedule.
