For our flagship products, the Cyrillia and Iseline graphic tees, we collaborated with our close childhood friend, Daan Koens (27), a self-taught Rotterdam-based artist who is already becoming a well-established name in the new generation of Dutch/Antillean artists.
We drew our inspiration from our shared Curaçaoan heritage. Have a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process culminating in Kurashi Collective's first release.
