Kaylee Tankus is, by far, the hottest new women’s line we have seen at HG2 in some time. And given the reaction it has seen in how fast it has been flying off of our shelves, we think you’ll find this Q and A with Kaylee Tankus herself more than just a little interesting. This line is loved by women for its forgiving, flowing designs and unique tailoring. Combine that with a really affordable price point, and what you have is a winner.

One of our top sellers

HG2:  Tell us a bit about how the line came into existence, and what was the inspiration behind it?

Kaylee: A Swedish female artist, Leo Wellmar’s, works inspired the 2010 SS KLT collection. Northern Europe’s visionary details shown in her works were mixed with KLT’s cubism spirit and a slight hint of orientalism.

HG2: What is the background of designer Kay Lee, and what are some things that inspire her?

Kaylee: I established KLT’s basic concept of designing and styling. Currently Min Jee Kim has been directing KLT collection for 3 seasons.

Everything in the world can inspire me. Certain things happen to catch my eyes, whether it’s seen or unseen objects. I feel I can take those things, like sprits, nature, culture, artworks or architectures and present into my own aesthetic system with the KLT collection

HG2: The line seems to be one that has really been adored by a wide variety of demographics; from short and skinny to tall and robust, what is it about the line that allows for all sorts of women to look good in it?

Kaylee: It’s our ultimate goal for the collection. Every shaped women can look beautiful, because KLT has wearable styling due to its casual and soft avant-garde concept, with unique details.

HG2:  How have you managed to get that high-fashion look at such a reasonable price point?

Kaylee: We hope every woman in the world can dare to wear the KLT collection in many ways.

Keeping reasonable price with high fashion design elements is one of the most important things in our collection. We have the best production teams, who always consider efficient ways to produce, while still not hurting complicated cuts and details.

HG2:  The looks coming out of Korea, being both instantly recognizable yet uniquely different, seem to be something the international consumer is really taking a liking to in a big way. What makes Korea and Japan such a hotbed for new and inspired fashion these days?

Kaylee: Korean designers have a strong foundation in designing skills with unique handworks. They also have a traditional aesthetic with the newest trend.

HG2:  As Tankus grows, what can consumers expect to see in the future from both Kay Lee and the line itself?

Kaylee: We think, keeping KLT’s identity, while still evolving in trend and styling is most needed for the collection. Unchanging novelty, if it’s sensible.

HG2: How about a fashion tip on what to wear with your new Tankus piece?

Kaylee: Wear KLT with edge heels and top confidence.
