Kekke Koters heeft een nieuw jasje!

Yess, we are very very happy. Finally our website has been updated with the new design. We have been working on it since last year October/November already. It always takes more time then expected as usual. The new look and feel can already be admired on our dutch website Kekke Koters

This new look and feel will ultimately also be implemented on twitter, facebook and this blog as well. But first things first. At the moment we have a ton of work to do as the market season is starting again. On the 15th of April we can be found at the Swan Market in Rotterdam. Kick of for a sunny season we hope.


New for this season will be skirts....lots of skirts. We always used to have a couple in our collection but now we have a lot. And on the markets we always give discounts on the skirts. And little skirts make us happy :-)

Inspiration

sometimes come at the strangest moments and places. Im happy we are not a regular brand with seasonal deadlines. It would most probably kill my creativity completely if I had to come up with a complete collection at a set moment everytime again. No, it makes me happy to make what I like and what I want at the moment the inspiration comes to me.

Where do I get my inspiration? Well from loads of things I can say honoustly. Sometimes I see a building with a certain structure which inspires me to make a fun skirt with the same movement. It can be just a colour or a conversation. A kid with a dress that is uncomfortable. I have been teaching myself to make an instant drawing (if possible) immediatly. Sadly by not doing so in the past Im pretty sure I have forgotten a couple of great ideas.

Inspiration can also come from a very obvious place. Fashion! Lately I have been inspired greatly by the retro mod dresses scene which has been booming for a while already. (Mod is the style of being modern or up-to-date in fashion and culture.) Im in love with retro fifties, sixties and  seventies dresses. I see other designers being inspired by it as well.

A couple of weeks ago I ordered this dress from Thongbai Tatong. A comfortable tricot dress in retro, sixties mod style. What a great dress. I simply could not resist and I downsized the model for the little girlies. With an up to date fabric for girls from now ofcourse. I adore this little dress. Little girlies welcome to the sixties. You can be retro now as well :-)
