Kimberly Becker

Hey, Tim and Guy.

Thank you so much for having me.

I'm Kimberly Becker, and I'm a clothing designer calling in from Woolwich, Maine.

My brand is Kay Becker.

It's a collection that I've designed with a focus on women over 40 years old, which is me.

And this is a group of women who have been looking for high quality clothes for quite a long time.

It's an underserved population in the fashion industry.

I do, yeah.

No, I have a team in New York City and the fabrics are sourced from

Japan and Italy, mostly.

A lot of dead stock fabric.

So most of the fabric is quite sustainably sourced and really high quality.

I'm actually a textile designer by training, which I bring a unique angle to the apparel industry.

I worked in almost every cotton mill in America before they all closed.

Yeah.

So I listened to your interview with her.

She really, I mean, changed the fashion industry for women, gave

women a way to dress in that sort of Japanese aesthetic is so timeless and so beautiful.

But I almost think of myself as her alter ego.

We're not trying to make sort of a simple boxy silhouette.
