Featurekins // Catching Up with Katherine Edmonds of Wovenplay

By Leslie Schor, Senior Fashion Editor Leave a Comment

I had the pleasure of visiting the Wovenplay studio and shop in Brooklyn this summer and chatting with the designer, Katherine Edmonds. The space was everything I had envisioned it would be. The loft-like space was filled with clean natural light; and concrete floors and bare walls beautifully contrasted the whimsical and theatrical pieces that Wovenplay is known for. The merchandise is displayed towards the front of the space with a workspace towards the back. The workspace is visible to visitors and shoppers, which creates an inclusive and inviting creative energy. It was lovely to catch up with Katherine and inquire about the new developments at Wovenplay.

What is new since we last chatted with you for Babiekins Magazine’s second print issue?

We have just finished our Spring’15 collection which was inspired by the beaches and the landscape of the Mediterranean.

Are there any new designs that you are excited about? What colors and details will we see in the new Wovenplay collection?

We have designed several new exciting prints, and two new swimsuits including a ruffled Lola bikini and a boy’s swim trunk.

Which Wovenplay pieces would you say are the most popular?

The striped Lola Suits, Featherbands and Jess Brown/Wovenplay dolls.

I loved the creative vibe I felt in your Brooklyn space. It was invigorating to see your team at work. The manner in which the pieces are merchandised is so fun and aesthetically fitting for the brand. What do you envision for this space?

We love to work in this quiet space with the little studio shop in the front for people to come in and shop or chat with us about what we’re doing at the moment.

Why did you choose to set up shop in Brooklyn?

Brooklyn is full of creative energy and many entrepreneurs working in artistic fields and making things by hand. Our street is near the river and very peaceful.

Are there any current trends, artists, musicians or designers that you are feeling inspired by at the moment?

I recently visited the Dia in Beacon, NY and loved seeing the sculptural works of Carl Andre and the color-rich and geometric abstractions of Blinky Palermo.

What can we find you doing when you’re not at the studio or dreaming up new designs for Wovenplay?

I enjoy spending time and having fun with my son and my good friends, listening to live music, visiting antique markets and museums, taking road trips to cool old towns, seeing stars and planets at observatories and camping and cooking.

Copyright © 2023 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
