ABOUT KATIE MAY
I spent more than twenty years working in fashion designing, styling, and buying. Over time I came to understand that style is never separate from life. The way we dress reflects how we think, what we value, and the pace at which we move through our days.
In 2024, I closed my clothing line and stepped away from producing collections. The decision marked a natural evolution in my work and allowed me to focus more deeply on what endures. I found myself increasingly drawn to longevity, structure, and the way objects and rituals are actually lived with over time. Simply May grew from that shift.
Today my work sits at the intersection of fashion, nourishment, and daily practice. Alongside two decades in fashion, I’ve pursued certification in holistic nutrition, yin yoga, professional organizing, and luxury authentication. Each field expanded my understanding of how the body, environment, and material choices interact.
Fashion sharpened my eye for form and identity.
Nutrition deepened my awareness of biological stability.
Yoga cultivated rhythm and regulation.
Organizing clarified the importance of systems and space.
Luxury authentication strengthened my sense of value and discernment.
Together, these disciplines shape the way I write and think.
I see style as a practical language that evolves with seasons, energy, and life stages. The same is true for how we eat, move, rest, and shape our environments. Small, deliberate structures accumulate over time and influence the way we live.
Simply May is a place to explore those structures with intention and clarity. It is an ongoing reflection on how fashion, nourishment, and daily practice enrich the life we build.

How I Work
My approach begins with curiosity. I observe patterns, explore context, and connect threads between culture and lived experience. Whether through writing, conversation, or thoughtful inquiry, I’m interested in how structure reveals itself in fashion, nourishment, and daily practice.
