How it began...
As a big horror movie and music fan, I was always disappointed with the lack of fashion choices for women - it was basically a men’s tee or nothing! In 2005, I began selling my clothing on e-bay, then on Etsy, and eventually started selling on my own website. Everything was very much DIY and still is! I create my own styles and patterns, sew my garments, photograph and edit the photos, design my graphics, and build/code my own website.
Growing up, I was surrounded by fashion and creativity. I would create silly fashion lines and sketch out all my ideas. I learned to sew from my mom, who is one of the most talented seamstresses with a wealth of knowledge and high standards regarding quality; all of which she passed down to me.
I have over 30 years’ experience sewing a variety of styles on industrial machines. Everything I create comes from the heart and is always from a genuine place of love for fashion, horror, and music! In an age of fast fashion, drop-shippers, and bandwagon-jumpers looking for a quick buck, I’ve always remained true to my DIY roots and always will.
The Process
Each piece starts as a sketch, a feeling, or an image. Some designs come together quickly; others sit for weeks before they’re ready to exist. Nothing here is rushed.
I work in small runs, revisiting silhouettes and motifs over time adjusting proportions, refining details, letting pieces evolve naturally rather than chasing trends.
Killer Kitty is for those drawn to darkness with intention not costume, not excess but garments that feel lived in, personal, and slightly haunted.
Thank you for being here, and for choosing something made with care.
