beautiful Ann on her wedding day

Growing up in Berkeley, and going to the elementary school that I went to, provided me with a pretty cool thing – a group of friends I have known since I was in Kindergarten. I met Andrew when I was 3 years old, (he is 2 days younger than my twin brother and I and therefore became a kind of triplet for us when it came to birthdays). He was also the other artist kid in the class, and I’m happy to say he is still working that artistic magic.

Well, Andrew has a mom, and her name is Ann. She is great. She has had the fortune of finding love, again, and married her longtime friend Erich in a small ceremony at their lovely home in Berkeley in 2010.

Ann and I collaborated on her dress, which took many different forms before this lovely final one. We chose a blue silk Charmeuse for the majority of the dress and found a lovely cross-dyed silk Chiffon to use for the sleeves and some detailing. The idea was to make something that she could then wear again, say to the opera for instance…..and someday we will make a matching jacket or cover-up to go with it.

I work with ALL kinds of clients. No matter who you are, or what you are looking for, let me know….I’m sure we can figure something out!

About Me

Welcome to Katy Turner Designs! I am an Oakland-based fashion designer specializing in one-of-a-kind custom creations. I graduated with honors from FIDM in San Francisco. If you have something to go to and have no idea what to wear, a dress you've always wanted, or if something in a magazine catches your eye, I can make you anything you want (within reason of course) or design something just for you. Either way, you will have something that has been made specifically for your body and no store can offer you that. Please take a look around, make yourself comfy, and contact me if you are interested in my services
