Keller

Keller is a line of clothes and shoes made by Brooklyn-based designer Kelly Clark. Clark began the line in 2008 to create pieces that were subtle yet effective—an antidote to fashion excess. Hers are clothes to slip on, love, and wear unbothered. Spare without sparing character, they are made to function—then are left alone for the wearer to make her own.
Clark creates each season freestyle: Designs are felt, not overthought, and constructed with care. This process reflects Clark’s training as a multi-format visual artist and designer grounded in the details of construction. A Philadelphia native, Clark was sewing clothes by the age of 12 after years of watching her mother stitch costumes and her father assemble Harley Davidson’s from scratch.
Clark later attended Temple University’s Tyler School of Art and the Fashion Institute of Technology. After stints as a fine art handler, stylist’s assistant, and assistant designer at NoLita’s Unis, she went on to manage garment development and production at a small Manhattan studio that consults for lines such as Marc by Marc Jacobs, Zero Maria Cornejo, Tommy Hilfiger, and J. Crew.
