Fashion Through: Mindfulness, Science, Concepts and Philosophy
What we enjoy is subjective to our previous experiences. Each individual has a unique set of experiences that influences their perception of the world; this information is then processed alongside the visual interpretation of the object at hand, the outcome determining whether or not the individual enjoys something. This can often explain a person’s unique fashion choices. We explore the connection between self identity and style, helping express personalities and values through clothing choices more authentically.

HI! I'M KATIE MAY!
I HAVE BEEN IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY FOR OVER 20 YEARS! I STARTED EARLY IN RETAIL IN MY TEENS . WHEN I WAS 21 I OPENED UP MY OWN CLOTHING STORE SUKARA STERLING ON STATE STREET IN MADISON WISCONSIN WHERE I MOSTLY SOLD BRANDS THAT I SOURCED AND BOUGHT AT WHOLESALE FASHION MARKETS. LATER, I STARTED MY OWN CLOTHING LINE EWAMAY, WHICH WAS SOLELY ONLINE WITH AN OCCASIONAL POP UP OR FESTIVAL HERE AND THERE. NOW, I AM A STYLIST AND FASHION EDUCATOR. I have done and continue to do extensive research in neuroaesthetics, fashion philosophy and concepts and theories. I want to share this information with you to better define your style. I LOVE FASHION, I LOVE STYLE, I LOVE THE WAY GETTING DRESSED CAN MAKE YOU FEEL. RECENTLY, I’VE BEEN AT ODDS WITH THE BEHIND THE SCENES OF FASHION. AS CONSUMERS WE HAVE GOT AWAY FROM A TAILORED CLOSET THAT REALLY REFLECTS YOUR PERSONAL STYLE. OWNING GARMENTS THAT ACTUALLY IGNITE A SPARK IN YOU, THAT BRING YOU JOY, THAT TELL A STORY. KNOWING WHERE YOUR PRODUCTS COME FROM, WHO MADE THEM, WHAT WAS THE DESIGNERS VISION, A REAL STORY THAT COMES WITH EACH ITEM WE PURCHASE CAN LEAD TO A LIFE OF LESS CONSUMPTION, MORE FULFILlMENT. MORE CONFIDENCE. I AM CALLING THIS SLOW FASHION. I WANT YOU TO GET BACK TO SLOW FASHION I CAN HELP YOU DEFINE YOUR STYLE AND ESSENTIALLY SAVE YOU TIME GETTING DRESSED AND MONEY THROWING AWAY THINGS YOU BUY THAT JUST SIT ON YOUR SHELF. FOLLOW ALONG WITH ME ON MY SOCIAL AND TOGETHER WE CAN EMBARK ON A JOURNEY COVERING Styling, neuroaesthetics, concepts and theories, philosophy, sustainability, FASHION HISTORY, STYLING, AND DIY’S! YOU CAN FIND ME ON INSTAGRAM @KATIEMAYSTYLING AND TIKTOK @KATIEMAYSTYLING I CAN’T WAIT TO TAKE THIS JOURNEY WITH YOU! XOXO,KATIE MAY
