Your Trash, Someone else's fashion...



Discarded parachute: Kenyan based designer Nike Kondakis creates an ethical spin on designs using recycled parachutes and even incorporates the draw strings within the outfit.
Nike founded KONDAKIS three years ago. KONDAKIS is a responsible fashion company - both socially and environmentally. All collections are produced locally and the people involved are being paid a fair price for their work. Furthermore a percentage of KONDAKIS' turnover goes towards educating Maasai girls in the Kenyan bush.She "re designs" by creating garments from recycled parachutes and accessories from dead wood and found object.
