Karen and Kathy Norman are the Co-Founders and Co-Creative Directors of K2K Alliance & Partners. It is a Contemporary Mas & Fashion Brand, the ethos of which is "Where Fashion Meets Mas" With A Purpose. This award-winning iconic Brand’s signature style is about – The Look, The Fashion and The Mas.
In this in-depth sublime conversation Karen and Kathy, talk about the inspiration and personal journey which led to the creation of the K2K brands. They talk about the power of Art which they say, "is meant to create a reaction". This can be either positive or negative.
We delve into the creative process for the release of new collections and the synergies between each of their three (3) brands, which make for the signature K2K look and aesthetic.
The Creative genius and force of Karen, Kathy and their partners, is also seen in the otherworldly theatrical and dramatic productions each year, at their launch events in the Carnival Band launch season in Trinidad & Tobago. Which is a precursor for the release of their new Collection, for the Carnival period on the island.
This niche and iconic brand has a loyal fanbase of masqueraders who often "find" themselves in their personal selections, for their time of revelry and release during T&T's Carnival.
This conversation is poignant and transcends the ideology of doing things the normal way. K2K is on a path to find purpose, the expressions of which we get glimpses of on the Runway and on the Road. Have a listen to this conversation, it will surely move you to go deeper and to look again within yourself and the world with new lens.
