About Kathryn
Sewing and making clothes since I was 13, I graduated in Fashion Design in 2013 where my graduate collection was awarded the prestigious Sophie Hallette University Design Challenge award, and was also featured in Vogue & Drapers. I went on to manage the collections and ateliers of London Fashion Week brands Ashley Williams, Sibling London and Meadham Kirchhoff. I was responsible for overseeing the design and development of catwalk collections including sourcing, pattern making, working with in-house seamstresses and external factories in the build-up to LFW, and post-show managing sales, bulk production and wholesale distribution. In 2021 I launched my own label, Pristine, which has had a rapid ascent. ABOUT PRISTINE Pristine is stocked internationally by retailers including Ssense and Beams. Has been featured in Vogue, Drapers, Tatler, Metal Magazine and more. Our pieces have been worn by stars including Olivia Rodrigo, Julia Fox, Kourtney Kardashian, Rita Ora and many K-pop idols. We have also been a viral sensation on social media, with many of our videos racking up millions of views and interactions. Pristine’s mission is to combine ethical and heritage materials, and couture detailing, with a contemporary, playful aesthetic. We prioritise sustainable practices, manufacture in the UK, and offer bespoke tailoring as a standard to our customers. We work with some of the UK and Europe's oldest and most respected textile mills including Lochcarron of Scotland, Cluny of Nottingham and Jean Bracq.

I interned for Kathryn for six months at her fashion brand Pristine from 2023-2024. I highly recommend Kathryn as a tutor - she is a warm, welcoming and patient person who is incredibly generous with her time and knowledge. She is easy to talk to and deeply cares about helping young creatives.
As a BA Fashion student at a top university, I can attest to the fact that tutorage from an industry professional like Kathryn would be a valuable supplement to your learning that formal education alone cannot provide.View more recommendations
