Designer on the rise
Great emphasis was put on Katie Eary with her graduate collection from the RCA (Royal College of Art) when Mario Testino contacted her and wanted to photograph her ​​clothes on Kate Moss. This was in 2008, and Eary has grown bigger and bigger since then, showing at London Fashion Week.

Eary’s inspiration lies within skeletons in the closet, decay and beautiful boys who give in to heroin addiction. This is seen clearly in the clothes in which motifs of snakes and screaming skulls reflect the inner riot with amazing mirror-prints. A strong 90′s underground fashion can be seen throughout the collections with tight trousers in neon and sparkling synthetic materials.

The clothes are made couture-style with Swarovski crystals, the finest wool fabrics, soft jerseys and leather. A stark contrast to Savile Row’s bespoke suits, but parallels are still taken as Eary’s clothing is also tailored to the highest standard.

Harvey Nichols in exclusive West London, currently has Katie Eary’s clothes hanging together with a small installation of what inspires her. Skulls of various small animals, and jars with colored water and mussels. Neatly hanging around the installation are her t-shirts in psychedelic snake / tarantula / skull prints. Soft to touch, and mind-blowing to look at.
