Kate Young Style: Fall and Winter Coats, Knits and Boots
A cold-weather shopping edit shaped by Young's client-first styling and her Monica Vinader collaboration.
Kate Young's client-first rule sets the tone
Kate Young started at Vogue and went on to style editorials for Harper's Bazaar, Elle, i-D, Numéro Japan, InStyle and Vanity Fair. Her celebrity clients include Natalie Portman, Michelle Williams, Margot Robbie, Dakota Johnson and Scarlett Johansson.
In a British Vogue interview, she said she asks each new client what they love and hate, then looks at photos of when they felt really pretty. That personal starting point helps explain why her best-known looks feel specific to the wearer rather than borrowed from a trend.

Her work extends from red-carpet dressing to design collaborations
Young's collaborations include an eight-year partnership with Tura Opticals, a Target apparel and accessories collection, a jewelry line with Monica Vinader and a luxury basics line with Splendid. Target announced the limited-edition Kate Young collection in January 2013, with dresses, separates and accessories.
In the same Vogue conversation, Young said she plans press tours ahead while keeping each client recognizable and dressed for the occasion. This edit carries that idea into fall and winter with structured coats, tactile knits, boots and a small finish from her Monica Vinader collaboration.

Where I would start with Kate Young's style
Start with a precise coat, a soft knit and boots that can ground a familiar silhouette. The Victoria Beckham long coat sets a clear shape, while the Kate Young Gemstone Pendant adds a personal note. Build around pieces that feel like you, a principle Young returns to when she asks clients about the clothes they already love.
