KR has very strong brand values that are: el deportation, the street, luxury and rap. Along with this we can also add the fact that each collection tells a story and with them we also create our own universe of dicks, weekenders, carajilleros and beach guards.
– Eccentric and non-conformist ¿Where do you find this audience?? ¿Where Krizia takes more?
You would be surprised, they are everywhere!
– marked spirit «Gangsta» ¿There is a Gangster in Spain nowadays? ¿A style «imported» o «universal»?
The theme of the winter collection 2010 It is an irony of the Spanish bar carajilleros assimilating them to the 'American gangsta'´. we don't have gangsta, but we have other equally curious things!

In the pockets

We love brain storming and sharing ideas., that's when really interesting things come out.
– designer clothes, but at very affordable prices, ¿how do you get that?
It is the part that a designer likes least, but what we really want is for the garments to be worn… so if you have to cheapen or reject ideas, much to the regret, se hace.
