Kara Janx originally hails from South Africa. After completing a degree in architecture, she moved to New York City where she still resides. When she first arrived in New York she worked as an architect for four years. It was during that time when she began to feel herself drawn toward fashion, and now works exclusively as a professional fashion designer. Kara's classic cuts and unique accents have made her well known in boutiques across the country and internationally. Her collections embrace the urban girl, a lifestyle with which she has become accustomed to. She describes her work as "feminine with an urban slant." Her clothes are hip, colorful and functional, embracing not only the technique with which she skillfully does her work, but also the city in which she lives. Kara translates her skills and techniques into her clothes, which have a concentration on various surface treatments; most of the pieces are both hand cut and hand screened, lending themselves to a very tactile finish. All graphics are hand drawn and draw inspiration from the clean lines and precision of architecture. Her line is represented in New York City, and is currently selling nationwide and internationally. Janx's collection has received great appreciation in the press including television and various fashion and lifestyle publications.
