My name is Karis Yves Knight better known as KYK. My latest collection the V.O.W (Voice Of Women) is my VOW to give women a voice through my work. Removing the focus away from our outer sexuality and in towards what makes us beautiful in the inside. Each women shares their own handwritten life story allowing us to see how similar we can be to people that we feel so different from. Removing the boxes and labels that society puts on us.
