Born in Guam and raised in Port Arthur, Texas, Cat Swanson was in pre-medical studies at the University of Texas Austin when the fashion bug bit her.

So after graduation from UT Austin, she enrolled at Central St. Martin and Oxford University in England where she received BS in Fashion Design and BA in English, respectively.

Trained at Arkadius’ atelier in London, Cat Swanson was invited to be one of the 20 international designers that included Betsey Johnson and Julien Macdonald to design an ensemble for the BMG “Elvis Inspired” fashion auction held at Sotheby’s London in 2002.

The next year, in September 2003, the Texas designer debuted at 7th on Sixth, presenting her “Tiger Lily” collection that received raved reviews from the fashion press.

Cat Swanson is sold high-end boutiques nationwide. Her celebrity clientele includes Britney Spears, Lil’ Kim and Liz Phair.
