AUTHENTIC is everything candid, raw and unapologetic. We like artists that hold that stance as well...representing nothing by themselves and their skills...so that's why BOXING KITTEN
is our favorite right now! Not only because this designer..featured here... represents women of the past, such as Billie Holiday, including fierce attributes from such women within her designs, her clothing line is more than a fusion of color and uniqueness...here's an excerpt from her website: "The vintage inspiration behind Boxing Kitten celebrates the spirit and lives of women who have come before, and the playfulness and vibrancy of each piece captures the women of today and the future. Although inspirations are constantly being drawn from various sources the collection is rooted in the political and cultural elements that women faced during the Civil Rights movement. Each garment is carefully produced in bold and fearless print combinations, and then fused with charmingly flawless and demure patterns. Maya Amina, designer of Boxing Kitten, embraces contradiction and simultaneously understands how interconnected everything is; this is what makes her vision unique and infinitely approachable. “The cleverness of the marriage between fabric and pattern is essential to my process. Contradiction, hypocrisy and the willingness to accept the inevitability of the two are at the core of my inspirations. This is what designing for Boxing Kitten embodies"
Support Boxing Kitten! We ladies at AUTHENTIC will be commissioning some dresses! TRUST ;)
