Photographer Leila Jacue went backstage for KALTBLUT at Ka Wa Key A/W20. The collection is called ‘The Twink Prince’ and is inspired by The Little Prince, novella by French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. This playful collection experiments with childish prints and soft textured knits, all garments are constructed of high quality and mostly sustainable materials. Like de Saint-Exupéry’s novella this collection explores life, and human nature. www.instagram.com/kawakey
