Katy Perry Collections is a line of footwear founded by American singer Katy Perry.
History
[edit]On February 16, 2017, American singer Katy Perry founded the brand when partnering with Global Brands Group. She wanted to create a brand that reflected her personality while being accessible to a broad audience. Some inspirations for founding it are a Dalmatian-print pair of flats that Perry thrifted, as well as her refusal to wear uncomfortable shoes.[1]
She bought back the line in 2022 after the holding company filed for bankruptcy in 2021. This made her the sole owner.[2] Perry later relaunched the brand with the Summer/Spring 2022 Collection in the same year.[3] She followed it by launching a collection called the Fall/Winter Part 2.[4]
