I am extremely involved in the design process of both my brands, Winter Kate and House of Harlow 1960.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Winter Kate-House of Harlow 1960 customer is a multi-tasker, therefore it's important that they are able to put together an outfit with ease and elegance. Pieces that are easy to mix within their own wardrobe. Easy dressing while maintaining a well put together look.
