Up-and-coming photographer Brad Ogbonna just completed a photo shoot featuring S/S 2011 designs by up-and-coming designer Kathryn V, who is fresh off showing at the University of Minnesota senior show. The following collection appears to be a prequel to what she will be showing at Voltage 2011 in April - and some appeared at Cliche's Avoid the Grey show back in January. It stays true to her aesthetic - laidback, mix and match separates and casual dresses in earthy tones that would be at home at Anthropologie or Urban Outfitters. The designs are currently available at Cliche.
