KR LT Studio, a conceptual design studio based in Vilnius, Lithuania, takes a freeing approach to concept development. Instead of boxing themselves into one artistic category, principal designers Kristina Dryza and Renata Gaidienò allow themselves the creative freedom to express an emotion or an attitude however they please. Manifestations of each yearly collection’s ideas have been known to take the form of fashion, graphics, and interiors, though all potential mechanisms of interpretation are deemed fair game.

This year’s offering, the Inner Space Collection, is comprised of seven lounging robes, each designed around a particular mood. The lounging robes (a word for which I’m struggling to find a U.S. equivalent — they’re much like very beautiful, impeccably-made dressing gowns) are all thick with Lithuanian tradition, and designed to be “enjoyed within the privacy of a woman’s own environment.” True that may be, but the robes themselves are almost too beautiful to keep confined to one space- each is handmade, with hours upon hours of detail and craftsmanship adorning every sleeve, hem and waistband.

In order to truly appreciate these works of art (aside from seeing one in person), you’ll need to see and read much more than I’m allowed to write here. The KR LT Studio website does a wonderful job telling the studio’s story, so if you’ve found this as intriguing as I have, head on over for some beautiful words and photography.
