Hi, I'm Kayla Shields with Teens Want to
0:02
Know and today we're here with Katie
0:03
Davis, the founder of Charine Couture.
0:06
So Katie, I know you're 18 right now.
0:07
How old were you when you started
0:10
So I was actually 13 years old when I
0:12
started my brand charging couture. And
0:15
one of the reasons why I started it was
0:18
because growing up in the pageant
0:19
industry and being born a micro preeie
0:21
and being so petite, I could never find
0:24
clothing to fit me. So that is one
0:26
reason why I started charging because I
0:27
wanted a piece that was one of a kind
0:31
Oh my gosh. Okay. So, how was being a
0:34
young designer really shaped your design
0:35
style and how you ran your brand?
0:37
Yeah. So, I will definitely say like all
0:39
of my designs are very very modest. Um,
0:42
my designs I have done some designs that
0:45
weren't so modest. So, kind of for like
0:47
all ages, teens, young adults. Um, so
0:51
usually my designs are kind of whatever
0:53
the um, person feels comfortable wearing
0:56
and also what fits like their style as
0:58
Oh, okay. So, what can they expect from
1:00
your current collection?
1:01
Yeah. So, I'm super super excited about
1:03
my current collection here at New York
1:06
Fashion Week. I'm actually wearing one
1:07
of my pieces right now and the
1:10
collection is called the Tiffany
1:13
um, part two. So, we um back when I
1:16
would say when I was around 15, we
1:18
released uh the Tiffany collection part
1:20
one and it was honestly one of my
1:23
favorites. We sold out in everything and
1:25
I was like, you know what, we have to
1:26
bring the Tiffany collection back. And
1:28
fun fact, I I love the Tiffany
1:31
collection so much I named my dog
1:34
So, this um this um clothing brand has
1:37
honestly just changed my life for the
1:38
better, and I'm honestly so excited for
1:40
what's to come in the future.
1:41
Oh my gosh. And so what was your
1:42
favorite piece of design that we should
1:43
look out for on the runway today?
1:45
Uh probably one of my favorite pieces I
1:48
would have to say my suits. I love my
1:51
suits so much, but also my more plain
1:53
design. So kind of my two-tone color um
1:55
designs kind of like the one I have on
1:57
now. Those are kind of my favorite.
1:59
Oh my gosh. And where did the name
2:01
Charine Couture come from?
2:03
So fun fact, Charine is actually my
2:06
grandpa's name, Charles, and my middle
2:08
name, Jean, put together. Thank you so
