KATE LANCASTER. Senior Concept & Trend Designer. NYC.

Kate Lancaster has been working in the fashion industry for 10 years, starting her career at Australia’s retail giant Seed Heritage designing their leading woven categories and traveling frequently for concept development and buying.

In 2016, she was hired by Ralph Lauren to work as a woven womenswear designer and relocated to New York City where she currently resides.

In 2018, she was hired by LOFT/Lou & Grey to reimagine their accessory line at a senior level.

In addition to her design work in New York, she has also been providing various Australian brands with trend reporting and buying - which has become particularly relevant for companies in lieu of the Covid travel restrictions.
