I literally ran into Katy Denning while coming out of Lenoir. Although Katy’s current style relies heavily on vintage pieces, she said that has not always been the case. While we were chatting, Katy told me that before she really appreciated vintage clothing she went through a skater phase (think DC shoes and Hurley clothing). Katy said her appreciation for vintage clothing began after going through her mother’s closet — where her adorable paisley scarf and gold belt are from.
Katy’s mantra that she follows when it comes to fashion is to always make it work for you. One fashion tip that you can do to personalize your own clothing is to DIY (do it yourself) different pieces so that you and only you can wear it. She loves to shop at her local Goodwill in Raleigh to find all her eccentric pieces.
Katy’s advice: “It’s not about the brand, its about your style and how you wear it.”
