Hi, I’m Katrina Kole
A designer with a deep love for storytelling through materials, silhouettes, and self-expression. I recently earned my BFA in Accessory Design, and my work is rooted in identity, transformation, and the beauty of embracing differences.
Design, for me, is a way to make sense of the world — to express what words can’t always hold. I pull from personal history, queer culture, and themes of protection and empowerment. Whether I’m working with crocodile leather inspired by the disappearing coastlines of my Louisiana roots or crafting heels that speak to femme resilience and fetish aesthetics, my pieces always aim to start a conversation. I love experimenting with textures — from texturizing suedes to glossy latex, customized hardware, and corseted details — each one reflecting a different chapter of who I am and who I’ve become.
I design for people who live in between: the bold, the soft, the loud, the hidden — the ones who embrace contradiction and use fashion as a form of power. My collections often center around those who walk through the world with something to prove or protect. As a trans designer, my work is also deeply personal — it’s about claiming space and helping others feel seen through statement pieces that carry meaning.
I’m currently based in Savannah, building my brand and growing into the luxury market. My goal is to create work that’s unapologetically expressive and emotionally resonant — pieces that empower people to stand taller, speak louder, and feel more like themselves. Resume
