Early life

Katy Kattelman was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[2]

Career

1970s-1980s

Katy K. moved from Philadelphia to New York City in 1966 to pursue a degree in elementary education at New York University. She later visited Texas, where she discovered country music and rockabilly style.[2] She started designing western style men's shirts and clothes. She returned in New York City and enrolled at Parsons School of Design in 1978,[2] but never completed her degree. Katy K. found success in designing crinoline skirts. Club 57 opened in New York City. Katy K. was a regular there. Amy Arbus photographed Katy K. and John Sex[3] for her column in The Village Voice, which appears in her book On the Street: 1980-1990. The book is the subject of a 2013 documentary about Arbus called On the Street. Katy K. is featured in the documentary.[citation needed]

1980s-1990s

Nicknamed the "reigning Crinoline Queen" in the 1980s by New York Magazine, Katy K. sold her designs at Fiorucci, Screaming Mimi's, and Patricia Fields.[2] One of her petticoat skirts was worn by Whitney Houston in her video "I Wanna Dance with Somebody."[2] Katy K.'s close friends included Joey Arias, John Sex, Keith Haring, and Klaus Nomi.[4]

Katy K.'s time in New York ended in the 1990s when she moved to Nashville. Opened a store in the 12 South neighborhood.[5] Her store, Katy K.'s Ranch Dressing, was one of the first businesses to move into the neighborhood.[citation needed]

Her second annual fashion show at The Gas Lite Lounge included performances and attendance by Joey Arias and Kitten Natividad.[6]

2000s-2010s

In the 2001 book How the West was Worn: A Complete History of Western Wear, Holly George-Warren called Katy K. one of "several young American fashion designers in the 1990s who sought to emulate and reinvent the golden age of Western wear."[7]

In 2004, Katy K. brought burlesque to Nashville with her show at Mercy Lounge, called Girlesque V. She originated at Exit/In a few years earlier. She said about the show: "Although the acts can be sexy, they are more a celebration of feminine charms, not a pandering to male patrons."[8]

Katy K.'s Ranch Dressing had to closed due to rising rent costs in May 2015.[9]

She was a regular at Club 57 on St. Marks in the 1980s. MoMA curated a show about Club 57 in late 2017.[10][11]
