From a small town in Minnesota. Made myself a home in NYC.
Hi! My name is Kaylee Gilles. I am a student at The Fashion Institute of Technology, majoring in Fashion Design. I graduated high school from Red Wing, Minnesota in 2021. I started my college education Fall of 2022. I resumed my Freshman year (second semester) Spring of 2024. The gaps in-between years of my education consisted of me traveling, learning about the history of different cultures, as well as working full time. During this time I was also interning for a designer in the Minneapolis area, who helped me design in my first fashion show.
I am consistently inspired by historical fashion and costuming in film, theater and dance. My skill range is broad, I am both familiar and comfortable with Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator, Draping, Pattern Making, Sewing, Crocheting and Illustrating.
I am always looking for opportunities to learn from other designers and creatives. Let’s work together! Check out my ‘Contact’ page for my contact information.
