MODEL/
Backstage with Yuko Takihashi.
Katherine modeled for over a decade in various runway shows, advertising campaigns, editorial spreads and television commercials in domestic United States and international European markets. Her fashion work has brought her to live in cities from New York, Milan, Paris, Athens, and Barcelona, working with clients including Piaggio Vespa, Diane Von Furstenberg, Alice and Olivia, and The City of New York.
Raised in a family of public school educators, Katherine succeeded in the Elite Look of the Year contest at age 17 yet deferred modeling contracts to attend Villanova University School of Business. Following graduation from university, she moved to New York to shoot a fashion advertising campaign in Elle magazine and was discovered by renown photographer Patrick Demarchelier. She was signed with his agency Bryan Bantry and connected with the Elite Global network in Europe, working in various cities.
Always keen to gain education, Katherine took positions in house for designers Diane Von Furstenberg, Vivienne Tam, and Free People to learn the inner workings of the fashion business. It is because of this education Katherine has been able to launch her two businesses today.
