Oulu 187, North Pride ja Qstockin Real Deal Beach Party -festivals plus all them custom-made orders kept kiks-sweatshop sweaty and busy this summer. But before the summer really ends, there'll be even hotter action comin up!

26.8. in Oulu's Night Of The Arts kiks-workshop will be open 6-10pm - maybe the whole night if the feeling's right. From 10pm to 4am there'll be video art made by Heikki Salo on the 2nd floor windows. Welcome you all!

28.8. Popsickle-club in Bar Becksu there's gonna be big moves on the dancefloor and stage! Main act will be a rising star, producer-rapper-singer-djgirl GoldieLocks all the way from  London, accompanied by gangstatechno-artist Rekku K, hoopdance pioneer Hoop-A-Trix and djs Macarone, Illyana and J Honey. Dance dance dance!  More info in facebook.

KiksMiks Vol3 - "Cruel Summer" is also out. Mp3-link here - cd can be found at the workshop.

Oh and a word about the clothes! A pile of rosy fabrics are turning into new autumn hoodies at the moment - kiks wan't stop flourishing no matter the weather!

Spring is here again!

Kierrätystehdas(RecyclingFactory)-weekend in Helsinki 24.-25.4.2010 was great - heaps of talented presenters and thousands of wonderful visitors! There's a pic of the presenters' fashion show on the left. Thanks to kiks' model Mirka and RemakeEkoDesign who put the show together. Pic was taken by Hoop-A-Trix whose hoop was presented together with kiks.

Non Boutique, Grape Station and Mieland's shop now all have new kiks, and in the workshop there's a lot of work to do with new products, summer dress orders and such.

Welcome for a visit!

Then a few touchy songs to fit both the sunny and the rainy spring days ~ some new Cocorosie, She&Him and ja a couple of years old Appaloosa song. By the way, while Kiksmiks vol3 is processing, you can download vol2 here!

Flying High to Kierrätystehdas!

Kiks is taking the traditional spring-trip to Helsinki, Kaapelitehdas to participate in Kierrätystehdas -recycling fair, 24.-25.4.2010. In the Oulu-crew we have kiks, Locksteady ja Hoop-A-Trix, so alongside recycled design clothes we're gonna have partly recycled hoops on offer. A massive eco-fashion show presenting over 30 labels is also gonna take place in Kierrätystehdas.

New kiks-collection Flying High -is now also in video form in youtube!

And now let's post the ever-inspiring Army Of Lovers' and its singer La Camillas namesake-song, Flying High. Massive Luxury Overdose!

Parties and props!

Kiks 2010 collection "Flying High" is currently flying out from its workshop-nest - this time towards the north! You can find it in the kiks-workshop and Non Boutique in Oulu or soon-to-be opened Mieland-shop in Rovaniemi. And of course we're arranging a party to celebrate the new collection, new website, Easter holidays, dancing and all such goodness. More info on the left. Big thanks to Pohjois-Suomen Katutanssijat (North-Finland Streetdancers) for the dance/fashion show!

Big hugs to the wonderful ladies modelling my new collection - Anna, Hetu, Hilu, Ida and Niina <3.
