When I was kid, my parents were always very creative with my toys. Of course my brother and I had some run-of-the-mill stuff (still love Teddy Ruxpin to this day… lol)… but my favorite toys were always the unique things that we had and no one else did. One of our favorites was this giant parachute we used to store in our back shed. It was huge and spanned most of our back yard when it was completely unraveled. When you’re 4 and 7 you can spend hours in a giant parachute… making forts, playing tag, you name it. One of my favorite things to do was to climb to the middle and wear the entire thing as a dress. I felt like the princess of everything!! Clearly, designers Doris Kwaka & Nike Kondakis had a similar idea when they created their breathtaking Parachute Collection.
I love love love!
Instead of the short little bio I usually do on designers, check out Nike in her own words!

Busy day so I better get moving!
