Mine is a collection of wearable whims created by illustrator turned fashion designer, Katherine Pont. From the paper doll to the hanger, each collection is composed with a story in mind which unfolds as the collection takes shape. It is this fairytale sense of creation coupled with Katherine’s hand drawn embroidery and print embellishments that are the tell tale signs of the Mine signature style.
The collection has a distinctively vintage feel yet within her detailing Pont meddles with convention to create something new and artful in conception. Modern idea's of proportion play, hitching waistbands and dropping necklines to reveal decorative shapes, trims and layers in between results in a wardrobe with endless combinations. Mine is sexy sweet yet dresses the female form with an occasional hint of tom boy. Everything down to the naming of each individual garment is considered.
Katherine was born in Sydney and moved to London after graduating from an honours degree in painting and drawing at the College of Fine Arts. She has lived in the UK for seven years, and has been designing her independent label Mine since it's humble beginnings in 2003. Now boasting an indi following from the likes of Natasha Khan of Bat for Lashes and Au Revoir Simone, her wares can be found in select boutiques across the globe.
