As others joined in with me, we danced while wearing the clothes that we had sewn ourselves and started a movement. I started posting photos of the clothes I was making to my Instagram account just for for fun, along with videos of myself dancing and called it the #handmadehustle. I’d spent years fooling around on my sewing machine, but I wanted to really focus on making my own clothes. In January of 2018 I decided to stop buying clothes, so that I could learn how to really sew everything I wanted to wear. I always viewed what I wore as another visual/artistic expression of my inner self, and I wanted that to be a more accurate representation, so I had to make it myself. However, I could at least make colorful clothes for myself. Some of my work even had tiny dresses that I’d made hanging in front of them like an installation piece.īy 2018 my life had taken a different direction, and I had pretty much given up on my dreams of becoming a fashion designer. My paintings were often inspired by dresses I was designing in my head. When I was in my 20’s I’d dreamed of being a fashion designer, but they didn’t have that major at my university, so I decided to major in painting. But how did I get here? Sewing, Dancing and Instagram I never in a million years thought I would say either of those phrases, much less together! Yet, here I am: Bravo’s Project Runway season 19 designer, Katie Kortman. I am a reality star and a fashion designer. PROJECT RUNWAY - Pictured: Katie Kortman - (Photo by: Barbara Nitke/Bravo) ![]()
