Where does the time traveler wander? Perhaps to the past, drawn by the charm of antique cars and their stories. Maybe to the early industrial era, marveling at groundbreaking inventions and mass production's origins. Or perhaps back to his youth in the late 20th century, a time of boundless energy and the rise of consumer culture. Could he be from the future? He wears a sustainable coat and suit made from scraps, with a recycled sweater, crafted with care for materials. Or is he just travelling through life, relishing each moment, and knowing today’s choices shape tomorrow?
Fashion House leKeckas creates future fashion that is sustainable and slow, yet progressive and modern. This approach shapes every stage, from concept to detail. Founder and designer Kestutis Lekeckas holds a PhD in Material Engineering and Technology from KTU and is a professor at the KTU MIDF Design Centre. His approach to fashion often begins with materials, patterns, and technologies, later evolving into conceptual form. Each collection presents original, intellectual solutions that may not be immediately noticeable or understood.
