Name: Katie Gallagher

Occupation: Designer

What is your favorite dessert? Candy Corn

Do you know what you are going to be for Halloween? I haven’t decided yet, but last year I turned myself into a candy corn.

What was the inspiration for your SS2011 collection? I was inspired by sports, athletic wear, and the patternmaking involved.

Do you play any sports? I run.

Do you ever run in your designs? Yeah, I do. I wear my leggings and in the winter I wear one of my hoods.

What are you listening to now? I’ve been listening to x Wave radio. They have lots of great dj’s on the station. I particularly like one called Uncle Fester.

What is your favorite brand of eyeliner? Nars

What are you wearing? My shoes are Topshop, which I added the small chains to. The top is by Lulu Cascante and my dress and bag are my own designs.

Okay, first off there’s no excuse for wearing a stocking with a hole in it. Go buy a new pair and put them on in the bathroom. If you’re a designer then there’s no excuse to not represent yourself better.

Second, break up that black. All black is only for teenagers who think they’re being cool and edgy. Even goths wear a splash of color. A red scarf, a long strand of purple beads, just do something so break up the black.

But at least she likes candy corn and not some fancy-schmancy thing that normal people never eat.

First of all, theres nothing wrong with wearing all black and who cares about a hole in a pair of tights. Secondly If everyone was as stiff about fashion as Jami above, then fashion would be dull dull dull. Katie is doing her own thing and I think shes incredibly inspiring!
