KARA from Y'OH - Mens Street Wear Designer

My home girl from London is probably biting her little fingernails as we speak.  Tonight is the long awaited launch of her label Y'OH along side Kids of Grime.  Kara has one up on most mens street wear designers...as in she hasn't just screen printed someone else's design on the front of a t shirt that she copped from a bowl of rice in China. Miss Thang has comes from a high fashion background. She is a trained and experienced pattern maker and has spent nearly every waking hour not only researching her audience and finding out what they like, but absorbing the culture that surrounds the industry.  In other words baby girl got skill! In my short time on this earth I have learnt one important lesson, you cannot build a house on the sand and you cannot build success on someone else's unhappiness.  There is nothing but hard solid rock under this ladies house and everyone she comes into contact with leaves feeling a little happier. Sit up and take note and act like you know 'cause although it's only the beginning, Y'OH is already building a foundation for longevity.


WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT MEN'S FASHION?

Men are much better shoppers than women (shocked face!) they notice the subtle details and think in terms of longevity. The fact they generally have less items which they wear for longer periods of time means that men have a much more consistent look and through that they can articulate their persona a lot better than women who tend to change their style seasonally. I think it would be better if women did that…buy less and spend more on classic long lasting pieces.

Designing menswear comes more naturally to me. There's a lot more room for it develop so I guess even subtle changes can be quiet radical. For example the Y-shirt ( a cross between a shirt and a long sleeve tee) isn't crazy, in fact it's as plain as you can get, but the fact that it's not jersey makes it radical.
