LA Ink’s Kat Von D Gets Her Piano “Inked” by KDF


Sephora in Times Square celebrated Fashion’s Night Out  to kick off New York Fashion Week with a live performance by Kat Von D of LA Ink fame and Maja Ivarrson, singer for Swedish punk band The Sounds. The tattooed beauty accompanied Ivarrson on an equally beautiful Baldwin baby grand piano emblazoned with a charcoal drawing penned by Kat Von D herself. KDF helped make it happen!

KDF was commissioned to apply the same vinyl wrapping techniques used on vehicles to Kat Von D’s personal piano for this special Fashion Week event. The KDF team wrapped the majestic instrument in ivory vinyl with raspberry and gold accents, showcasing a charcoal portrait by Kat Von D.

"Kat was so sweet and appreciative of the work we did,” says Stephen Hoey, President of KDF, who received an autographed photo of the finished piano from the reality star. “She even invited the crowd to come up and check out her piano after the performance; she was so proud of it.”
