My designs have traveled with me through time and helped me define my existence. When I first decided to alter my clothes as a teen, I knew this was a life long journey that would always fill me with joy and passion. As a self taught artist, the world that has surrounded me, shapes me. Through love and heartbreak and finding true love, 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 traditional designs still spark endless inspiration.
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.
