Kymberly was by far my favorite interview as her brand immediately stood out amongst the designers that showcased as an edgy streetwear brand. Conversation was easy as it felt like I was talking to a friend. Designs by K.Y. came together in 2016 and ever since has been growing to embody African culture with a play in texture, color, and patterns that are eye-catching. My favorite pieces from her presentation were her standout fur coats as well as gold crowns that spoke for themselves. Kymberly biggest continual motivation is her young daughter who she wants to make proud. I met Kymberly at the Young Designer’s Awards and Presentation where she also shared with me her biggest inspiration for her designs.

I understand that as a creative you have to find your center and continually feed yourself with places, people, art, books or words to be able to inspire others with your art or inspiration.

What is the inspiration behind your designs?

“I am very inspired by music, Music is a huge component in my creations and many of my pieces have come together through my playlists.” My biggest style icon is Rihanna and she also influences my work.”
