Kathleen O’Grady’s mission is to make beautiful, wearable clothing for women with the purpose of rekindling our love of Slow Clothing. Classic cuts and layered moments are some of the hallmarks that define O’Grady’s design aesthetic. With rich colours, clean lines, and unique details that make the pieces eye-catching and individualistic, I am so excited to see Kathleen’s pieces on the runway at SFDF this year.
Kathleen describes Slow Clothing as an alternative to fast fashion. The Slow Clothing movement honors age-old traditions of quality and values the workers who create the garments. Combining old world sensibilities with contemporary design, she creates garments that have timeless and enduring appeal.
Key to Kathleen’s creative process is working with natural fibres and making small runs of garments, as well as one-of-a-kind special pieces with specialty fabrics she has found or re-worked with surface design. Combining old world sensibilities with contemporary design, she creates garments that have timeless and enduring appeal.
Something to keep in mind as we head into fall and embrace our love of layering is that Kathleen also has a line of wool scarves in vibrant jewel-tone colours for the up-coming season. Stay tuned! I for one am very pumped!
Kathleen looks forward to participating once again in the SFDF festival, and is excited for the opportunity to bring her clothing and style to the women of Saskatoon.
