Artist Kate Shu | Jessica Forever, Live a Life You Love Hoodie
Jessica Forever, Live a Life You Love. Kate and Jess — the Sunset Duet — spent their childhood summers camping, hiking, fishing, and exploring until the golden hour gave way to dusk. Some of their best memories were written in those evening hours together. This is the hoodie for the person who has played the other part in your duet — the sibling, the best friend, the chosen sister who has been with you through every sunset. Wear it for them. Then call them.
A note on sizing: this hoodie runs slim. We recommend sizing up one size for a relaxed fit, or two sizes for an oversized look. Refer to the size chart for exact measurements.
Kate Shu is a South Korean-born, Iowa-raised artist, entrepreneur, and creative force whose life has been shaped by music, nature, resilience, and an unshakeable belief in the power of art to transform lives. Abandoned at birth and adopted at seven months old, Kate arrived in Minneapolis into the arms of a family who became her greatest champions — and set her on a path of extraordinary creative discovery.
By fourteen, Kate was performing with professional big bands across the Midwest. By sixteen, she had explored nearly every national park in the United States, often assisting her father — a landscape architecture professor and published author — in cataloging the trees, vines, and shrubs of North America. Over the next three decades, her creative life expanded to encompass theatre, painting, design, calligraphy, pottery, culinary art, textiles, and clothing design, alongside a lifelong love of music.
The heart behind the Kate Shu Collective lives in her grandmother, Alda Mae Zahner Hightshoe, who began every single day by reciting a list of things that were “sooo beautiful” — and who, despite being awarded an art scholarship, gave up her dream during WWII to become Rosie the Riveter. It is in Alda's honor, and in the spirit of every artist who was ever told their dream wasn't practical, that Kate built the Collective — to give talented creative people another way, another chance, and another reason to keep going.
“The hardest work is the HeART work — and it's always worth it.” — Kate Shu
