BK Style Foundation (BKSF) was founded in 2004 as a platform for Brooklyn’s explosive creative talent. BKSF’s mission is to assist emerging, underprivileged designers in honing their talent and growing their business, and to provide a professional forum to showcase their creations along side other emerging designers from around the globe.
In addition to its commitment to design, BK extends its mission to the Brooklyn community as a whole, presenting innovative educational programs to young people interested in developing careers on the creative and business aspects of fashion. Consistent with this mission, BK Style Foundation is developing the Brooklyn Style Base, a design education and resource center for youth in the Brooklyn community, which will house a design library, and style museum, and a productions and manufacturing department. Additionally the BK Annex an educational collaboration with Brooklyn Outreach Centre Network and Fort Greene Fashion Group. The BK Annex will offer design lectures, workshops and seminars.

One of our darling designers showing Spring/summer 2009:
Samoy Lenko
Samoy Lenko’s Spring/Summer 2009 collection, See-Line Woman, continues a curious narrative conceived by designer Natasha Samoylenko. Deriving inspiration from the sensual spirit of both Nina Simone’s song and the intimacy of a 1920’s French boudoir, the collection: a palette of luxurious fabrics, vivid colors, and sensual shapes, is full of dreamy dresses in lustrous hues and fluid separates alternating from shiny to matte textures.
Approaching fashion design by asking “What would happen if I turn this insideoutupsidedown?” Natasha sees each collection as an artistic medium of expression and storytelling.
