KIFKA+HELLER

Designer Kai D. Fan in New York City to serve the needs of modern day artisans like himself. The main principles behind KAI D. are Utility and Relevance. Vintage workwear, hunting, and military details are reinterpreted in enduring fit and styling. It isn’t meant to look old or feel nostalgic. It’s about old wisdom. A pocket must be available when needed, accessories are designed with purpose, and clothes should fit well. And they should last–not just for quality and craftsmanship, but also of timeless taste. You should want to wear them 5 years from now, and 10, and so on. Not much different than artifacts from the past, these values are the foundation of Kai D. Fan’s philosophy and resonate in his clothing & accessories. Kai D. Fan listed 10 words that support his beliefs, his life. Each season uses one of these phrases as its inspiration: Build, Vision, Craft, Conserve, Connect, Change, Explore, Balance, Neighborhood, and Free.
