Cadence Collection

A project directed by Cat Burton in collaboration with Cathy Olivar Brand. Inspired by the definition of "cadence" as a sequence of notes or chords comprising the close of a musical phrase, this collection symbolizes the end of a chapter for  Cat Burton as she bids farewell to her twenties and paves the way for new beginnings in her thirties. In a collaborative effort, Cat Burton and Cathy Trostle-Olivar have delved into the depths of their career journeys to distill the prominent emotions that have defined their paths.

Each piece in the "Cadence" collection serves as a canvas for these emotions, intricately woven into the fabric and design. From the bittersweet nostalgia of farewells to the exhilarating anticipation of new horizons, every garment encapsulates a unique emotion, inviting wearers to connect with the stories woven into each thread. "Cadence" is not just a fashion collection - it is a testament to the transformative power of embracing change, growth, and the uncharted paths that lie ahead.  

The project was produced in partnership with Opya Studios.

The collection will be on display at the Pittsburgh International Airport October 2024 - March 2025, located in the ticketing display case.
