Bath-based designer Kathryn Pickering has been appointed as creative director by Pocket London, the upscale jeans brand recently-launched by Made In Chelsea star Louise Thompson.
Kathryn will lead its creative direction for its forthcoming collection, producing a luxurious range of jeans in keeping with the brand’s values.
The collection aims to have more design detail and the use of prints, influenced by Kathryn's background in print design, and will continue to include its trademark contrasting coloured pocket.
Kathryn graduated from Bath Spa University last year with a BA (hons) in textiles for fashion and interiors. She credits fashion design icons Mary White, Mary Quant and Laura Ashley as inspiration.
“Floral has always been a passion of mine and although I have created other designs outside of this subject I am always found returning to what I find most fulfilling,” she said.
Pocket London was launched last year by reality TV star Louise and fellow Edinburgh University student Edward Page.
