Pink Sheep Heiress is an American made, Rock and Roll inspired lifestyle brand. It reflects the aesthetic and energy of Katie McKenna, creative director and designer, who founded the brand in 2013 with her brother, Willy McKenna. Born and raised in St. Louis, Katie is the lead singer and lyricist in the sibling-fronted band Red Letter Days. She formed Pink Sheep Heiress as a celebration of the musician’s life and for others who embrace the rocker style. Known for its colorful, leather designs and graphic prints, Pink Sheep Heiress creates affordable luxury items and artisan-crafted ready-to-wear for the woman who is her own iconoclastic tastemaker.

The name Pink Sheep Heiress is an irreverent nod to her upbringing. The BFA-trained designer grew up in a home with parents who were both apparel industry executives. Although she adored her family, Katie felt she never fit in. Katie created her own world through music and fashion. Rather than be the black sheep of the family, she chose to be the pink sheep as pink sheep have more fun! Katie added heiress to the name when she realized she was typecast in life as a result of her comfortable surroundings.

Respectably Rebellious defines the Pink Sheep Heiress. Katie encourages one and all to flaunt their individuality as strength — and embrace their quirkiness and the characteristics others like to mock.

Pink Sheep Heiress is available at select, edgy boutiques as well as www.PinkSheepHeiress.com. Currently, the brand encompasses upscale ready-to-wear as well as original concert performance wardrobe for celebrities. The uni-sex Sheep Shades collection of sunglasses will be introduced in Spring 2015.
