Designer Daily: Katie Gallagher

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

Having emerged from the wooded farmlands of America, Katie Gallagher does not see fashion as the end goal. “Stories, personalities, moods, ideals and attitudes are.” With this message, Katie Gallagher has been designing and operating her company since she graduated from RISD, and her latest Fall ’12 collection Silent Soil speaks volumes to her talent. A metallic-like silk-bamboo blend drapes like lace, and angled jackets hold a strong presence. Her mixed material leggings are retailer’s necessity, á la the sheers sold at LN-CC. Where ever in the spectrum of goal setting Gallagher places fashion, she is evolving to achieve it more with each collection. See some choice looks and a film from Katie Gallagher Fall 2012 here.

LOOKBOOK: Katie Gallagher Fall 2010

Edited by Kirby Marzec

If you like gothic silk drapery, sheer inserts and bondage-like strappy detailing, Katie Gallagher’s Fall 2010 collection is right up your alley. Overall, the Gallagher’s collection has a ghastly space-age quality to it, a nice change from the atypical and ever-popular goth drapery.

LOOKBOOK: Katie Gallagher Spring 2010

Edited by Kirby Marzec

Who on earth is this Katie Gallagher girl and how can I get my hands on her entire Spring 2010 collection!? Gallagher is one designer I haven’t had the pleasure of acquainting myself with until recently, and let me tell you, she’s one to remind you that not everything has been done before. I would describe her Spring 2010 collection as biker meets matador. The dark navy blue and black hues give Gallagher’s collection a gothic vibe, beautifully contrasted by the romantic, billowy sleeves of blouses and jackets. There is no doubt that Gallagher endorses the idea “the tighter, the better,” so this collection is not for the body conscious! Zippers, sheers, leathers, straps, drapes and panels. This is art.
