Kate Troyer Designs

Garnish is proud to present select items from Portland designer (and Garnish Manager), Kate Troyer as our "Guest Artist". With a BA in Art Histroy and Sculpture and an Masters of Fine arts in Textile Design, Kate has been an active exhibiting fiber artist for years and is now expanding her creative persuits into designing womens fashion. With an interest in the handmade component, Kate uses elements of detailed structural manipulation and hand drawn patterns to create many of her peices. Current designs are inspired by a mix of manmade and natural textures, architectural forms, and notions of repetition. Ideas of patterns and repetition will continue to be central to her work suggesting notions of cycles, networks, and rythym. Expect to see more of Troyer's unique, modern, and sophisticated designs in Portland as her line continues to grow and evolve.
