Katie May
Katie May was founded in 2012 by Katie May Neu when she designed her sister's wedding gown featuring an entirely open back that hugged the wearer's form perfectly. This daring, non-traditional design was unlike anything in the market at the time. When Katie May posted an image of her sister in the "Princeville" gown on her style blog, it was pinned on Pinterest and quickly went viral, with tens of thousands of pins from brides-to-be desperate to wear this revolutionary backless design.
The brand has since evolved from its viral wedding gown origins to become a comprehensive fashion label offering bridal, bridesmaid, and special occasion wear. Katie May has successfully launched with top retailers including Revolve, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Neiman Marcus. The brand has disrupted the fashion industry by combining innovative designs with meticulous focus on fit and quality, establishing itself as the go-to choice for contemporary brides seeking effortless elegance with a signature modern aesthetic.
