Right up there with Donatella Versace and Karl Lagerfeld, Kaila Methven has firmly secured her place in the world of high fashion. The five-time award-winning designer and KFC heiress left the world astounded when she posed for the most expensive cover shoot in fashion history, adorned with over $14 million worth of diamonds. Today, Kaila is cooking up a storm as she merges luxury with EDM in her highly-anticipated spring collection.
The multimillion-dollar EDM line is set to launch this 2021, making Kaila the first designer to focus on global music festivals. The collection is composed of lingerie, dresses, and party wear for both men and women. Furthermore, in her most recent designs, Kaila listened and collaborated with DJs who know EDM events by heart. The designer will soon make appearances at Coachella, Burning Man, and Tomorrowland to give the fashion industry a comprehensive look at how she plans to change the face of EDM and festivals.
Additionally, the designer is also reaching another milestone this year as she stars in her own reality TV show. Producers and various television networks are already predicting that Kaila’s show will be a big hit, dubbing her as the next Kim Kardashian. The show also landed upcoming partnerships with Celebrity Slots App. The fashion industry is also preparing for a major international collaboration between Kaila and an iconic fashion brand.
Kaila was born into a well-off family. The title “KFC heiress” rose as it was revealed that her family owned Rainbow Chicken Unlimited, the South African company that supplied 90% of KFC’s chicken. Despite her lavish upbringing, first in Beverly Hills then in Paris, Kaila had the strong desire to build her own name. Today, she has surpassed that goal as she leads one of the biggest empires in fashion, Madame Methven.
The designer debuted her brand at the LA Fashion Week, showcasing her talent in some of the world’s most coveted runways. Since her debut, Kaila has been featured in magazines across the globe, including The Sun, Business Insider, Forbes, Authority Magazine, Medium, and LA Wire. Her works have also been recognized by reputable fashion platforms such as Elle, Vanity Fair, and Harper’s Bazaar. One of her biggest success stories yet is designing the first $1.5 million bra, another first in the history of fashion. Furthering her success, Kaila will collaborate with Jessica Rich on an exclusive footwear collection due to launch in Fall 2021.
Madame Methven is celebrated and adored among celebrity circles and has been seen in some of the biggest names—Katharine McPhee, Demi Lovato, Apollonia Kotero, Kitty Brucknell, and the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, to name a few.
Beyond her exclusive and luxurious life outside high fashion, Kaila is also recognized as a philanthropist. The designer is currently running two non-profit organizations: PLUR, a foundation supporting the LGBTQ+ community, and the Kaila Methven Free Project, which provides support for the victims of sexual assault.
Kaila received her design training from the iconic fashion institute Esmod. Shortly after, the designer obtained her Master’s degree from the International Fashion Academy Paris and additional training from Polymodo in Florence. Learning from the greatest pillars of fashion, Kaila is indeed a force to be reckoned with, embodying a creative who aims to uplift the already empowered women through high fashion.
