![]() ![]() If she only designs for herself, it further begs the question how she got on the show. I guess I took those emphasized phrases to imply that she is designing for others, and not just for herself. Katie is now focused on finding inspiration for her designs in her new cultural surroundings." (emphasis mine) Most recently, her family has uprooted and moved to Japan due to her husband’s job. She prides herself on designing ready-to-wear, colorful designs that a woman could slip on for many occasions. When her family came back to the United States, she was determined to never buy clothes again, which forced her to create and make her own clothes. When her husband was moved to Bahrain, she decided to hone her sewing skills and ultimately fell in love with fashion. ![]() Katie is married to an OB-GYN who works in the military and has four children. She is best known for her custom singular and colorful prints. "Katie Kortman’s muse is fine arts, and her girl is. I took Nina's statement on the runway to imply she was familiar with Katie's aesthetic in a wider sense that just what she's shown up to that point on the runway. I took a leap of logic and linked things together that perhaps I shouldn't have. Since that was clearly POOMA, I think you should ignore me. She's a designer, she lives in Japan, her aesthetic seems to match a certain subsection of Japanese society. To be clear, that is an assumption on my part. I thought she said she designed for herself. Somehow I missed that Katie was designing for Japanese. Maybe Nina likes her body of work, but not her hasty competition work? I think Katie's kind of odd and juvenile aesthetic works well with a certain Japanese subculture, and I'm sure she does quite well designing and selling to them. Which.wasn't that Nina rolling her eyes at Katie's designs in prior weeks? Unless Nina is referring to Katie's aesthetic she has for when she's designing back home in Japan. There was Nina saying she'd noted and loved Katie's aesthetic and was looking forward to it, but didn't see it anywhere in what she put down the runway. To be honest, the strangest thing was when the judges were asking for her usual aesthetic, which they have hated in all previous episodes! I believe he was trying to influence her to have a more adult/ less juvenile look. I absolutely did not like the way Octavio spoke to/about her, but I don't think he was trying to sabotage her so that he would be safe if they were in the bottom. Or maybe get into designing children's clothing. Katie seems like a nice person, but to me she should stick with fabric design. ![]()
