About Kaitlyn
Founder & CEO of Apres Lamour
Originating from a small town in the Hudson Valley, she moved to New York City to pursue her career in Fashion studying Merchandising at the Fashion Institute of Technology. For 8 years she worked as a merchandiser for a luxury fashion brand. Always having an attitude of 'why pay for something when I can do it myself', Kaitlyn would find ways to keep up with current trends by cutting a pair of denim or tying a men's shirt as a skirt. Thus après was born. The name 'la vie après l'amour' means 'life after love' in French. Each piece of clothing has been given a new life after being loved. The heart behind our company is to divert clothing and textiles from landfill and create a collection using a cyclical production cycle.
Having studied in Paris and traveling there for work over the years, the brand has been inspired by the effortless chic style that all Parisians seem to have. Relocated back home to the Hudson Valley, she feels that now more than ever we need to think twice about how we are consuming and be a part of the solution.
