After graduating from Massey University and winning an AMP Scholarship, Kathryn Wilson honed her design skills to create her namesake brand in 2003. With four flagship stores in Wellington and Auckland and distributing to more than 80 retailers across the country, Kathryn Wilson is now leading the fashion charge, one foot at a time.

Kathryn Wilson footwear takes its ethical and social responsibilities of its suppliers, clients, and the environment seriously. The brand is committed to upholding enjoyable and fair working conditions as a wholesaler, retailer, and employer. The brand ensures its supply chain adheres to legal, moral, and ethical standards, using low impact materials and components where possible.

Locally, Kathryn has remained a driving force in fashion, hosting a New Zealand first exclusive footwear runway show at New Zealand Fashion Week in 2010. It was followed by a huge social media-driven show at the same event in 2011, which saw more than 2,500 attendees. Kathryn’s collections are showcased with an energetic presentation of playful music, models and styling, leaving the guests on a high with a sense of optimism and joy.
