THE DESIGNER

Kat Marks is a creative leader in fashion enterprise and design. 

Marks is a serial entrepreneur. Creativity motivates all aspects of her process - research, design and craft. Looking at the creative process both personally and objectively, she constructs a dialogue between product design and the visceral experience of film, photography and live events.

Editors, photographers, stylists in the fashion industry, as well as fashion patrons, musicians and artists, have been attracted to Marks’ unique, artisanal style of designing and have been her greatest supporters. Her fiercely independent streak to challenge mainstream fashion sensibilities, and yet, still remain accessible is the hallmark of her ventures.

Material methodology includes leather, acrylic and fabric, which are showcased through the visual expression of photography, film + exhibit.  Marks’ intuitive design approach is founded on a distinctive and sleek aesthetic that fuse together innovative materials with traditional craftsmanship. Her fashion accoutrements are based on film and literature, and a mind that blurs, fuses and morphs all categories into an unexpected plaything for modern and timeless sensibilities.

Kat Marks is originally from Calgary, Canada. She holds a Bachelor of Design in Fashion Design from Toronto’s Ryerson University and a Master of Arts in Fashion Artefact from London College of Fashion, University of the Arts, London, UK.
