Kate Kope

Kate Kope is a Staten Island native who brings a confident, independent, and undeniably real energy to everything she does. A New Yorker through and through, she is known for her infectious, down-to-earth personality that makes you feel like you've known her forever.

Discovered while getting her hair done for senior prom—the most Staten Island origin story possible—Kate quickly rose to prominence as curve modeling finally hit the mainstream. She has since built a decade-long, successful career, fronting campaigns for powerhouse brands like SKIMS, Gap, Steve Madden, Express, and Love Wellness.

Though the fashion industry attempts to retreat from body diversity, Kate refuses to shrink herself. She has made it her mission to be living proof that health isn't a size two, 

and genuine confidence is something you can't fake.

In New York, Kate's life is a delightfully chaotic and relatable late-20s balancing act. One day she’s deep into meal prepping and Pilates (while managing her PCOS on her own terms), and the next she's out at an LES dive bar until sunrise. She's currently learning Croatian and cultivating her social media platform as a home for mental health check-ins, balanced living inspo, and genuine connection. For Kate, nothing is too small or too unglamorous—she unapologetically prioritizes her well-being while loving both green juice and vodka sodas.

Kate leverages her TikTok and Instagram presence to bridge the gap between her glamorous modeling career and her relatable, authentic real life, 

focusing heavily on body positivity, mental health, and balanced living.
