Maiyet
Pres & Creative Dir
In 2010 Kristy co-founded Maiyet, a pioneering luxury brand that incorporates within its timeless collections rare artisan skills from unexpected places across the world. Reviving ancient techniques and showcasing the raw talent of top emerging artisan communities, Maiyet aims to promote sustainable employment in places that need it most. Since its first presentation at Paris Fashion Week in October of 2011, Maiyet has grown to earn its place within top wholesale doors globally. The brand is regularly featured in international publications including VOGUE, ELLE, L'Officiel, Harper’s Bazaar, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Telegraph, positioned as a coveted fashion label and a leader in the movement towards conscious capitalism. Maiyet recently opened its first store at 16 Crosby Street in New York’s fabled Soho village. Kristy was accepted into the CFDA in 2014.
