OUR STORY

DRESS CHIC & CHOOSE CONSCIOUS — KATE8

KATE8 began as a deeply personal mission. Growing up, we both were captivated by the elegance of high fashion—the meticulous details, the artistry, the stories woven into every piece. But as we learned more about the fashion industry’s hidden costs— waste, pollution, and overproduction— we knew we couldn’t ignore the impact.

That’s where the idea for KATE8 was born. What if we could preserve the beauty of luxury fashion while reimagining its future? What if we could create exclusive, high-quality designs without contributing to the harm?

Today, KATE8 transforms iconic garments from brands like Jil Sander, Ralph Lauren, and Hugo Boss into one-of-a-kind pieces. We honor the craftsmanship of these brands while reinventing them with sustainability in mind.

WHY WE DO IT
Because the world doesn’t need more clothing—it needs better choices. The fashion industry produces 92 million tons of waste each year. By redesigning existing garments, we reduce waste, conserve resources, and prove that style doesn’t have to come at the planet’s expense.

KATERYNA & YULIA

For us, this is personal. Fashion is how we express who we are, and KATE8 is how we hope to empower others to do the same. It’s not just about wearing a garment; it’s about wearing a belief—that style and sustainability can, and should, go hand in hand.

We’re —two dreamers turned creators, united by a shared belief that fashion should be more than beautiful; it should make an impact.

Kateryna as a Ukrainian photo model lernd the art of simplicity and the power of confidence, while Yuliia’s background as an artist brought a fearless creativity that inspires every design we create. Together, we knew we could do more—so we did!
This is who we are. This is KATE8.
