Forty-six-year-old Kathleen “Sweet P” Vaughn hails from Los Angeles, California, where she was educated at Los Angeles Trade Technical College. As she grew up, she developed a passion for surfing and vintage clothing, which later led her to sketch new outfits for her favorite show, Sonny and Cher. While in college, she joined an underground club scene which enabled her to make her own outfits. She made a small collection of club wear and sold it to a few stores in Los Angeles. Her line, Sweet P, which she named after herself, evolved from club wear to retro, but closed after five years. She then moved on to work for Bebe before she was asked to work on a sleepwear line. Vaughn left the job after two years, and then worked for Harkham, with which she will showcase her first collection in February of 2008.
Kathleen “Sweet P” Vaughn is featured on season 4 of Bravo’s Project Runway as one of the 15 contestants. She was eliminated on episode 11.
