Contributing fashion writer
Kaitlin follows trends from the runway to real closets, then works out how they fit into an ordinary week. Her guides turn what’s new into outfits you can actually wear.
From campus fashion desk to your closet
Kaitlin started writing about clothes as a fashion reporter for The Daily Californian, UC Berkeley’s student newspaper, while earning her degree in Rhetoric. That habit of asking why people wear what they wear has stayed with her ever since.
After Berkeley she joined the editorial team at Editorialist and the branded fashion and beauty team at BDG. She has since reported on trends, celebrity style and shopping for Who What Wear, Marie Claire, Refinery29, Byrdie, Fashionista, Well+Good and The Everygirl.
At USA Fashion Fest, Kaitlin does the translating. A runway trend or a celebrity outfit is only useful if you can wear it to work on Tuesday or a dinner on Friday. Her guides start with the answer, then show you the outfit formula, what to pair it with and what to skip.
