Meredith Lockhart

Born of a jewelry designer and a professional musician, Meredith Lockhart, Nortonville, Kansas, couldn’t help be creative to her very core. While growing up in Atchison, Kansas, she started designing clothing at a young age for herself, inspired by the beautiful doll clothes made by her mother and a precious set of paper dolls created with clothing from the 1880’s through the 1930’s. Starting her career as an interior designer, she ultimately married a farmer and moved to the country where she kept her horses. After
working in interior design for thirteen years she then started making western styled fashions for, boutiques, country music stars and rodeo queens.

“Rustic Elegance” is what Meredith likes to call her couture western styled fashions with a little Boho thrown in. Many of her things are one-of-a-kind and she is creating a new line of Limited Edition Ready to Wear that she will unveil at Santa Fe Fashion Week. She works with top quality leathers, and fabrics, many of which she has hand dyed. Creating classic Art-to-Wear fashions, jewelry and accessories with a western twist that women can wear for many years is what she likes to make. Designing pieces that stand out in the crowd, is what she loves to do.

Meredith’s fashions have been on the runway from New York to Wyoming to Dallas. She was awarded with the Best Collection at the 2009 Cody High Style Fashion Show in Cody, Wyoming. In 2010 she was inducted into the Stetson Craftsman’s Alliance and Best Artist, Art to Wear at the Western Design Conference at Jackson Hole, Wyoming in September 2012. This spring in April, 2013, her designs walked in the coveted, invitation only, From Scotland With Love, runway show in New York City.
