Launched in the Spring of 2006, Kate & Kass marries the playful and innocent sensuality of the 1960s and 70s with the comfort and practicality of the 21st century. Kate & Kass specializes in a-line, empire-waist, and baby doll silhouettes, drawing inspiration from 1960s films such as Petulia, Rosemary’s Baby, Darling, and Two for the Road, and from female icons like Gloria Steinem, Jackie Onassis, and Jane Fonda, who showed women they could be at once stylish and powerful.

Designed in floral prints and muted, feminine tones, Kate & Kass pieces feature small details popular in sixties and seventies-era garments – vintage buttons, plackets, pin-tucks, pleating, darts, and hidden pockets. Where Kate & Kass departs from the past is in its fabrics; soft and supple cotton blends that breathe and drape easily have replaced the stiffer, more constricting materials of earlier decades.
