Chic Young Fashion Designer Launches in Santa Barbara, CA

Katharine Kidd announces the release of her Spring 2010 collection. The collection consists of gowns, cocktail dresses and separates that infuse a modern twist into old world romantic style. Katharine Kidd unites the elegant, classic styles of the '40's and '50's with a modern, sophisticated look reflected in this new collection.

"I was always interested in juxtaposing period clothing with modern designs. I'm inspired by the romance of Vivian Leigh and Lawrence Olivier, architecture, home design and old world romantic feeling," says Kidd. "It's challenging being nostalgic for a time when I wasn't even born, but I continue to be inspired by classic designers such as Dior. I'm attempting to bring back that time, but update the look so women will feel and look elegant in today's world. I think women want to dress up more, and this collection represents that vision.

Katharine Kidd is now taking special orders from customers. She is represented by several boutiques on the East coast and will be in West coast boutiques in time for the holiday season.For more information please visit www.katharinekidd.com or call (805)964-4100
