Katty Xiomara Introduces her Alluring SS2015 Collection during NYFW
Award-winning designer, Katty Xiomara presented Spring/Summer 2015 collection at Nolcha Fashion Week: New York, and unveiled the OtterBox® Dress!
For me New York is a city that proclaims liberty. The city tell us that we can take a risk that we only need to feel the symphony of the city and let it take us. It’s a metropolis that breathes urban glamour.

On September 8th, Portuguese designer, Katty Xiomara, showed her Spring/Summer 2015 collection at Nolcha Fashion Week; the destination for independent fashion during New York Fashion Week.
I love to see the brand conquer the moment and overcome obstacles whether it’s new or distant.

This is one of my favorite designers because I love the way she combines feminine classics, soft colors, creative styles, and more so her strong energy into every piece. We caught up with her backstage during NYFW Fall/Winter 2014 where she filled us in on her inspiration and blew us away with her sexy Charlie Brown style!
This time around, Xiomara, who is known for her geometric patterns, took the art form of a “chocolatier” as her inspiration this season by melting geometric shapes and creating more organic forms. With this, the color blocks were exposed of their rigidity, leaving the structure bare and originating a set of intertwined lines and points, outlined by wavy cut-outs. The result was subtle and lighter, offering her consumer “organic geometry in wire frames.”
The collection was a futuristic and retrospective mix, with a very lucid and practical take on the urban woman. Just like a chocolatier can’t predict the shape of an individual chocolate, the silhouettes bloom uniquely throughout the line. White color and smooth materials were a constant, with black outlines and striking cut-outs seen consistently in the line.
Xiomara unveiled her collaboration with mobile accessories company, OtterBox®, and their Alpha Glass™ technology, an all-new fortified glass screen protector for cellular phones: “The OtterBox® Dress.”
One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is overcoming obstacles. Creating an ensemble from glass screen protectors provides a unique challenge for me as it is something that has never been done. Alpha Glass compliments my style perfectly, blending elegant and refined taste with an understated strength.
