About Kestutis Lekeckas : Kęstutis Lekeckas is a designer whose works do not scream, but speak through exquisite and delicate details. For a designer, it is very important to create an original construction and make the most of material properties, he is influenced by his educational and scientific work (he is a doctor of science in materials engineering and technology). The designer likes to surprise, aiming for original clothing solutions to be discovered and noticed not immediately, but little by little, giving additional satisfaction and surprise. In his latest works, Kęstutis mostly draws inspiration from Lithuanian heritage and ideas of a sustainable lifestyle.
