Katherine Noyes creates sophisticated tops and dresses for women by using the finest fabrics and expert sewers in San Francisco, California. She finds inspiration in many elements, including timeless glamour, beautiful fabrics, silhouettes, intricate details, and an overall simplistic elegance in form.

Originally developed as a ready-to-wear collection, Katherine has recently expanded to include custom and bridal apparel. A bride can combine a wish list of details found on other dresses into one perfect gown to give the dress (and the bride!) the special attention deserved. Bridal parties can select their fabric, colors and silhouettes and they are each custom-tailored to the client's size and needs.

Katherine has an extensive background in the fashion industry, having worked in various roles of design, product development and production for such companies as Kay Unger, N.Y., Calvin Klein Jeans, Old Navy, and Gap brands in New York and San Francisco. Combining all that she had learned in the corporate fashion world with small-scale local production, the label "Katherine Noyes" launched in September 2005.
