Background
Kelly has a strong track record in fashion design and development and technical expertise on fabrics and color. Extensive travel to European fashion centers early in her career led to a life-long “hobby” of tracking trends, style and color evolution. She completed textile and color training in Como, Italy. Most notably, Kelly managed the $22 million Christian Dior men’s neckwear business for six years with key responsibilities that focused on product development (fabrics, style, design, and color) and worked closely with the House of Dior in Paris to maintain brand integrity and image.
