Katherina Feliciano

Katherina Feliciano's story is proof that struggle can become art.

A proud Puerto Rican Bronx native, Katherina lost her home to a fire and spent over three years moving through shelters and temporary housing — yet never let go of her love for design. She turned that resilience into fuel, studying at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), earning the Saig Scholarship from The Underfashion Club and a Golden Needle Award, and going on to work alongside Project Runway designer Garo Sparo.

A powerful and sought-after designer, Katherina has co-designed for celebrities including Madonna and Cardi B, among others. Her journey began right here, on the Bronx Fashion Week runway.

Today, through Kaciano Atelier, she creates fashion rooted in identity, culture, and the unbreakable spirit of the Bronx.

Her work isn't just clothing — it's a testament to what happens when perseverance meets opportunity.
