Kay Davidson is a hands-on, award-winning designer who’s specialty is the corporate business wear market. She has designed ranges of clothing to create new identities and strengthen the brand image for a wide variety of clients.

From commissions on small motor yachts and McLaren F1, to in excess of 20,000 staff for global projects at Hilton and Specsavers, the word “uniform” does not describe her work. She designs capsule wardrobe collections for businesses that enhance and boost staff confidence through their image.

Kay is a graduate of Heriot Watt University Edinburgh, and initially worked in the fashion industry for five years before being invited to design her first corporate project. She has been designing and creating image wear for the workplace for over 20 years.

As well as being recognised for her own designs, during her career Kay has worked alongside Jeff Banks, Amanda Wakely and Bruce Oldfield. It is estimated that over 500,000 people go to work in 10 different countries in clothing, which has been created by Kay.

She is passionate about teaching and empowering men & women. Sharing her vast knowledge of all things style with as many people as possible.

FEATURED INPUBLICATIONS IN WHICH KAY HAS APPEARED

SPEAKING TOPICSKAY HAS EXPERIENCE IN A RANGE OF FORMATS

Due to her corporate background, which sees her working with a diverse variety of clients and their very individual needs, Kay has a natural ability to inspire her audiences. From Board Directors, CEO’s and the odd “Sir” along the way she is not shy of groups large or small, captivating multi-million turnover bosses or the staff on the shop floor themselves.

She also leads small workshops and classroom type events incorporating practical and theory to enthral her group. Turning her professional life experience into speaking and coaching was a natural for someone who first taught in the equestrian field at the age of sixteen.

A winning formula of energy, passion, inspiration and fun makes all her style and personal brand sessions useful, interesting and memorable.

“A huge lesson in how making a few adjustments to what I wear can raise my mood, put a spring back in my step and create a general sense of wellbeing. Now if that isn’t a recipe for more confidence I don’t know what is!”

STYLE v FASHION

With a background in fashion and design Kay has spoken widely on fashion, style, dressing for success and personal branding. This topic will enlighten your audience with facts from inside the fashion world and give them the ability to enhance their image with little effort.

She is a go-to resource for national publications including Daily Mail, Prima, Good Housekeeping, Daily Express, Local TV and radio and is well regarded for her opinion.

“Kay presented an extremely informative session, which explained the important difference between fashion and style, and gave us some tips and tricks that even the male audience were interested to hear about. Personally, I’d love to have her back!”

INSPIRING CONFIDENCE & PERSONAL BRAND

Thanks to the media we are bombarded with images of unrealistic representations of beauty, size and shape at every turn. Statistics show that 45% of women and 33% of men are now dissatisfied with their own body image. Half of all adults think that ‘how you look affects what you can achieve in life.’

In this session Kay aims to eradicate feelings of self-doubt and lack of confidence that many of us suffer from today, resetting the balance with tools for a positive image which celebrates individuality.

LOOK GOOD, DO GOOD

Kay is on a mission to reduce what she calls the “excessive conspicuous consumption of fast fashion” that has become normal to consumers in the developed world. The statistics are shocking - over £100 million pounds’ worth of clothing ends up in landfill in the UK alone every year, let alone the pollution and damage caused during garment production worldwide.

In this session, Kay will educate and engage the audience to think about clothing from a different angle than perhaps they currently do. When you know what to buy, you buy right first time and wear for years - not just a few times before it is discarded.

“Style guru, Kay Davidson did an excellent job in explaining how to make those little changes that make all the difference. One of her key messages was not to buy more clothes but revitalise the ones we have while also really helping us understand the cost the planet is paying for cheap disposable clothing.”

WARDROBE WORKOUT MASTERCLASS

Audiences will rethink about how much they spend on clothes, how they shop, and learn why it’s important to know their own body positives and the impact that makes on their overall wellbeing.

With her fun and interactive sessions Kay coaches her audience to look and feel amazing. She encourages participants to bring along items from their own wardrobe, showing them how to wear and adapt them in order to make the wearer look and feel fantastic.

“Really loved the workshops - want to do it again!”

“Feel good factor was TERRIFIC. Kay is soenthusiastic about her subject, it is certainly contagious.”
