00:00 I would describe my look as a Y2K pink Barbie princess.
00:04 My style is a mix of Y2K kawaii,
00:07 lots of platform boots and skirts.
00:11 I've always loved the color pink.
00:12 It's like an addiction for me.
00:14 Today I'm transforming from pink Barbie to grandma.
00:17 This look is going to be inspired by my grandma,
00:20 but it's going to be more theatrical.
00:22 My grandma is definitely a lover of my style.
00:27 I've dressed her up before and she really enjoys it.
00:31 Very comfortable.
00:32 I think my grandma is going to be really shocked
00:35 because it's going to be weird to see me
00:38 as the same age as her.
00:40 That's not Katie.
00:41 Oh my God, look at you.
00:43 I made this piece out of my scrap yarn that I had.
00:53 This piece took really long to make,
00:57 but it's definitely one of my favorites
00:59 as it has every shade of pink.
01:01 My name is Katie.
01:02 I have my own small business
01:04 and I describe my style as a pink Barbie princess.
01:07 It's very pink, girly, lots of skirts and platform boots.
01:12 I've definitely always been into this style.
01:15 From a young age, I've always grown up wearing pink.
01:18 I think it's just, it's an addiction for me.
01:21 I definitely express myself through my style.
01:24 I think that my personality is quite girly and feminine,
01:27 so the pink does match that.
01:28 These ones are some of my favorite.
01:31 These ones I actually made out of curtains that I had,
01:34 but they're super comfy
01:36 and they give me huge Melly Martinez vibes.
01:39 Most of my clothes I do make and I hand sew a lot of them
01:43 or rework some pieces that I've bought.
01:45 I started designing during lockdown.
01:48 It kind of came across as just a hobby,
01:51 but then it turned into like a full lifestyle
01:54 and it really just grew from there.
01:56 My small business is me making a lot of nostalgic clothing
02:00 and backpacks using plushies.
02:02 This piece I've also made,
02:04 I definitely make a lot of spike chokers
02:07 and I've actually had my grandparents
02:09 model these ones as well.
02:11 My grandma's name is Dina and she often models for me.
02:15 She'll model my small business and she loves my style.
02:19 Hi.
02:20 So I have something for you guys to model for my Instagram.
02:25 So if I put this on you.
02:27 Thank you.
02:29 Do you need me to do that?
02:32 Is that fine?
02:34 Very comfortable.
02:35 A few pose.
02:37 I think Katie's designs are absolutely fantastic.
02:43 I do enjoy showing off with them.
02:46 I'm so pleased that Katie's found her niche, so to speak.
02:51 I'm really proud of what she's done.
02:54 Today I'm going to be getting a special effects makeover.
02:58 I'm transforming from pink Barbie to grandma.
03:02 I'll be revealing the look to my parents and my grandma.
03:07 Hi.
03:10 This look is going to be inspired by my grandma,
03:14 but it's going to be more theatrical.
03:17 I'm feeling good.
03:18 I'm feeling excited.
03:19 I want to get going and see how it looks at the end.
03:22 I think that the makeover is going to be really fun.
03:26 It's going to be really different.
03:27 Something I've never done before, but I'm really excited.
03:31 How long have you been doing this?
03:33 Is it a lifelong?
03:35 Yeah, it's kind of started off with small bits of makeup
03:39 and then it's kind of just grown from there.
03:43 I usually get my inspiration for my looks
03:45 from celebrities like Melanie Martinez, Jasmine Bean.
03:49 It's kind of like, it's a bit of an anime kind of style,
03:52 isn't it?
03:52 Yeah.
03:53 What is the style that you call it?
03:55 Yeah, I'd kind of say kind of inspired by anime
03:58 and Bratz dolls as well.
04:00 Dressing this way definitely makes me feel like
04:03 I'm what the childhood me would want to dress like.
04:05 I might have to ask you to pull a few faces
04:08 'cause you don't have wrinkles.
04:09 So I might have to ask you to just,
04:11 so I can see where the natural line is going to go.
04:16 So these are to go under your eyes.
04:18 You're not used to having your makeup done by someone else.
04:29 No, I've never had my makeup done.
04:31 It's always been myself.
04:33 It's really hard to let someone else do it, isn't it?
04:36 It's quite relaxing actually.
04:38 Yeah.
04:40 I would describe a grandma's style as quite purpley.
04:44 I think they love lilacs and comfy,
04:48 but quite wholesome clothing.
04:50 So we've got a floral blouse and some slacks, dark slacks,
04:55 and cardigans, drapery jumper, some scarves.
04:59 Do you want to go and try them on
05:00 and see which one fits best?
05:03 Oh, wow.
05:04 That pieces it all together.
05:06 (laughs)
05:09 See, that totally makes the look.
05:12 (laughs)
05:14 I'm really excited to see it.
05:18 The anticipation is like building up.
05:21 Are you ready?
05:22 I'm ready.
05:23 Okay.
05:24 Are you too worried?
05:25 (drum roll)
05:27 Oh my God.
05:28 This is crazy.
05:33 Oh my God.
05:35 (laughs)
05:37 Oh, it's actually crazy.
05:39 (laughs)
05:40 My eyebrows as well.
05:42 Yeah.
05:43 (laughs)
05:45 I will say this outfit is surprisingly really comfortable.
05:55 Yeah.
05:56 It's so comfortable.
05:57 We've been wearing that in our lives.
05:59 I know.
06:00 Get me this in pink.
06:02 I think my grandma is gonna be really shocked
06:05 because it's gonna be weird to see me
06:08 as the same age as her.
06:10 I think that my parents are gonna find it really funny.
06:13 I think my dad's gonna be really shocked
06:16 because he's so used to seeing me like this.
06:18 And I think my mom's just gonna laugh at me.
06:20 Really looking forward to seeing
06:25 what she's gonna look like.
06:27 Bit nervous.
06:28 Very apprehensive.
06:30 We'll usually see pink.
06:31 (laughs)
06:32 Pink Katie.
06:33 Yeah, it'll be.
06:35 Oh, goodness me.
06:41 Wow.
06:42 That's not Katie.
06:42 Oh my God, look at you.
06:44 That's amazing.
06:45 Wow.
06:46 Is that all?
06:47 Goodness me.
06:48 I think that's absolutely brilliant, Katie.
06:51 That's unbelievable.
06:53 That's what you're going to look like
06:54 in another 30, 40 years time, is it?
06:56 I can't recognize anything.
06:57 Even your eyes look--
06:58 There's nothing that I would say looks like Katie at all.
07:02 I like the hair.
07:03 I'll keep the wig.
07:04 How do you feel about it, Katie?
07:07 Have you looked in the mirror?
07:08 I'm shocked.
07:09 Yeah, I'm absolutely shocked.
07:12 I don't know, it's just, I'd never wear this.
07:15 We probably wouldn't wear that at your age.
07:16 Well, it's comfy.
07:17 It is very comfy.
07:18 The transformation is absolutely amazing.
07:21 It's unbelievable what can be done.
07:24 They were more shocked
07:25 than what I thought that they would be.
07:27 I think I was more shocked than what I thought I would be.
07:30 I've got a friend that looks a little bit like that,
07:32 to be honest.
07:33 Which is a bit uncanny.
07:34 It was really fun, really exciting.
07:40 It was a long process, but it's so worth it in the end.
07:44 Just looking at myself different
07:46 is kind of like an out-of-body experience
07:49 because I'm so stuck to my own style.
07:51 And I'm kind of curious to see
07:53 if this is actually what I'll look like when I'm older.
07:55 I might keep it on for a little bit,
07:57 maybe FaceTime some of my friends and see what they say.
08:00 But other than that, I think it's going to come off.
08:03 And yeah, I mean, my grandma loves the clothes,
08:06 so I know she wants to steal them.
08:08 Close, huh?
08:09 Yeah, like this.
08:10 I'll put that one, I think.
08:11 That's nice, isn't it?
08:13 (upbeat music)
08:16 (upbeat music)
08:18 (upbeat music)
08:21 (upbeat music)
08:23 (upbeat music)
08:26 (upbeat music)
08:29 (upbeat music)
