for many years i have been restyling leather products.
making bags, wrist bands, clothing, accessories, this that and the other thing. there is something about vintage leather and fur that makes my heart flutter and get “that sick” feeling.
like your sick because its so amazing and so wonderful and so amazing.
i have been creating some really lovely little items that i am proud to introduce to you..
the unveiling will wait, but let me assure you..
you may also get “that sick feeling” when you gaze upon them. 
lets meet again soon and i will show you what i mean.
for now,
enjoy your saturday night in rainy vancouver and take care.
i have come to be involved in an initiative called our social fabric. it is essentially a textile recycling initiative that involves recycling textiles in vancouver and the surrounding area and provides jobs to those living in the downtown east side. it was founded by a man named leandre , and you can see more about this amazing program by clicking on the links below. we are facing many challenges as the program is in its early stages and needs all the support the community has to offer. currently we are in search of a space to house our donations and get started with the reproduction of these items. we are looking for a warehouse type space in the downtown east side.
the kdon fall winter 09 line samples were all made from fabric from a OSF donation, and as a business i have committed to giving %10 of all sales to the organization. i will be showing this collection for its 2nd time on november 5th at the red room. details here. this is all for now, once i shoot the collection with photographer justin tyler close i will post amazing pictures of what recycling looks like in my eyes.
On sept 24th, 2009 I am launching the kdon FW/09 line in collaboration with Boconcept, the furniture store who is the creator of the “worlds longest launch party“. the new collection is a throw back to the 1960’s mixed with a heavy and contrasting punk vibe. you can expect to see lots of sharp colors, hard and soft edges and the usual kdon way of experimenting with every contradiction possible. long, short, soft, hard, big, small and so its goes. i to say the least, am so very very stoked to present ‘rock me gently’ to you all on next thursday. i would love for you to come and check it out. peace.
