C*kin ( see-kin) a fashion line that consists of my original designs, sewn by me. Design and acting have always been my two passions. Since I was a young adult I have been driven by creative arts yet business minded and extremely focused. Detail driven and addicted to productivity. When I first decided to alter my clothes as a teen, I knew this was a lifelong journey that would always fill me with joy and passion. My mom and grandmothers set the example and fed my love of all things fabric and threads. As a self taught artist, the world that has surrounded me, has shaped me. Through love and heartbreak, a sewing machine and a dress form have always stood by. A shoulder to lean on, and an escape for a busy mind. Mostly I create wearable fashion. My body, full of curves and turns, has challenged me to think outside the standards. And yet I still find myself looking at traditional designs that continue to spark endless inspiration. C*kin has elevated my creative thought and helped to expand my skills.
C*kin has elevated my creative thought and helped to expand my skills. I create unisex fashion, femme comfort. Experimenting with various fabrics and letting traditional designs spark endless inspiration. My brother, Kreatoday is a massive part of why C*kin came to, continuing to contribute his original artwork and designs. C*kin is originally a sibling collaboration, Cristin and Kreatetoday. A sibling combination. C'kin is a fusion of art and fashion. Taking form as apparel. C^kin is the vision of vibration, consistently changing and holding stillness. It's an image being walked around the block, and seen by the world.
Kreatetoday and Cristin Rivera are the artists behind a lot of the original printed designs you'll see on our clothing. These drawings have been accumulating, sketchbooks stacked and ready for exposure.
Cristin is the designer, the seamstress that gives these collaborative designs it's final form. Sometimes simple lines, sometimes exaggerated details, always a statement.
