K?stutis Lekeckas, the visionary behind fashion house leKeckas, designs from the inside out\u2014grounded in material, technology, and construction before turning to aesthetics. As a costume designer, he values subtlety, with details that quietly surprise both wearer and observer. His work reveals an intimate dialogue between structure and style.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1. Please give us a brief bio of yourself and your design background.<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

I am K?stutis Lekeckas, a costume designer who first understands fashion from the inside out\u2014through material, technology, and construction\u2014before focusing on external aesthetics. The subtlety of my designs is essential, and the solutions I discover often surprise both the user and the observers in unexpected ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2. What made you become\/why did you choose to become a designer\/artist?<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

I have always been interested in creating, helping, solving problems, and design is the area where this can be realised. The right clothing design can help a person in many situations, from confidence, self-esteem, to achieving goals and manipulating perceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3<\/strong>. Tell us more about your agency\/company, job profile, and what you do.<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

The main activity is in a small family business, where I have the freedom to create. We deliver clothing products to our branded boutique, and I also work with individual clients, providing high-quality, bespoke design and tailoring services. I enjoy engaging in various activities and continuously improving myself by learning new things. I hold a PhD in materials engineering, teach at a university, and work on various projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q4. What does \u201cdesign\u201d mean to you?<\/strong>
For me, design is about creativity, observing the environment, and seeking inspiration. It\u2019s a form of creativity that helps people live well, feel good, and gain self-confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q5<\/strong>. What\u2019s your favourite kind of design and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I work in the fashion field and enjoy creating garments with designs that unfold gradually. At first glance, they may appear classic, but over time, exquisite details and complex constructions are revealed. Sustainability is also an important aspect of my work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable Fashion<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
