Behind the Seams of a Designer
Kristin Brady was born in Orange, California. When she was three years old, she chose her own wardrobe. By the time she was five, she made “Fashion Books” that were filled with her colorful and detailed sketches. Her drawings were arranged and sequenced in such a manner that it was obvious that she possessed an understanding of composition that was far beyond her years.
During her early childhood, Kristin’s family spent a few years in Tennessee, where she spent a great deal of time with her beloved grandmother. Kristin learned to appreciate her grandmother’s sense of classic style, along with her appreciation of antiques, classic cinema, vintage fibers and collectibles.
Kristin’s family returned to California, and when she was twelve she began researching the evolutionary decades of fashion. Her research included studying the lives of Chanel, Versace, Dior, Yamamoto and Pucci. She attended the Arts Technology Academy at her high school in Cerritos, California, where she studied fine arts with a focus on fashion design. She entered a design contest for Poleci and won. Her design was produced, and she was given an internship with the company.
