ABOUT FW20 COLLECTION & BRAND:
KA WA KEY’s latest collection has landed at New York Men’s Day.
KA WA KEY is a London-based gender-fluid label by design duo KEY CHOW and JARNO LEPPANEN. KA WA KEY thinks “twink” and reimagines traditional textile crafts and sustainable materials to rework everyday casualwear. Designers draw influences from their roots of the Asian and Scandinavian aesthetics and aim to tell stories through their work. KA WA KEY works towards sustainable and ethical fashion, from material sourcing, design innovation and production. KA WA KEY’s work has been praised of its interesting high quality fabrications, soft design language and artistic presentation concepts.
* FW20 Collection Theme
KA WA KEY presented their FW20 collection at NYMD Monday February 3rd 2020.
