1st time on stage: Lena Dardelet & her band

1st time on stage: Lena Dardelet & her band

United by the same feeling <3

Lena is an artist born in France and raised in the Caribbean, right here in our homeland, the Dominican Republic. Her music is inspired by her life growing up on this island, however criticized by many for not being “Dominican enough”… a feeling we know very well.

 

When we got contacted by her manager to dress Lena for her first big show of the year at SoloFest, it was an immediate YES, especially since we’ve been talking and eyeing each other’s work for a few months then, it was just a matter of time for us to join forces <3 

 

We got the chance to not only dress her but also her band and dancers, getting to see different collections coming together in the same space/time and complementing each other so well, just like Freedom and Lena ;P

And to everyone’s surprise, Inka (Dominican rapper) joined as the special guest also wearing his OG tank in onyx, to interpret their new single together “Ten Cuida’o”

It was LIT!

Connecting with many talented fellow Dominican artists truly hit home, getting to see our pieces performing on stage so gracefully and getting to be part of such a great production reminded us what we are made of and that magic happens when pure talent comes together with the right intention. The colors, the textures, the fit, it was all on point. 

 

The feedback was heartwarming, the level of detail and dedication truly showed and we are forever grateful with Industria Freca for trusting our work and making us part of their vision to showcase lo’ criollo. 

 

The energy was right, there was mutual acknowledgment and respect during the whole process, we felt welcomed and honored from the very beginning and would LOVE to create more shows together!

 

Nothing beats the power of integrity, no matter how others perceive your work, as long as you stay true to yourself, at the end your light will shine through. 

 

We couldn’t have asked for a better first time.
For more amazing shows together 🥂 Cheers!
