This interesting line of clothing was created by fashion designer Sasko Besovski, also known as Sasha B., for Koko Tozan or KTZ. Highsnobette notes, “Sasha believes that ‘the proliferation of high-end labels has discouraged younger people from experimenting with interesting clothes and is determined to make some serious change...’”
The colorful and playful wardrobe and accessories from KTZ’s S/S 2009 collection are a bit nondescript when taken as a whole. However, one constant that I can see here are the leggings or bodysuits worn by the males.
These vibrant creations, which were clearly designed for young people, are experimental, full of variety and loaded with very vivid colors. Kids wearing these clothes would certainly stand out in a crowd.
However, I don’t think most teenagers are ready for this out-of-this-world collection yet--unless they live in the East Village part of NYC.
