For some, there’s still a chill in the air. For Peace Love Threads, Spring has arrived!

Last year, I had the pleasure of interviewing PLT founder, Tasha Moore {Click here to read the interview} on the launch of her boutique. She opened her heart and her boutique, giving us the scoop on who she was and what she wanted us to know about PLT. Fast forward a year later and PLT has bloomed into a full-fledge online boutique! For PLT, Spring has arrived. I am so excited and honored to bring you the new spring collection, with a beautifully designed site, and introduce KV tees designer of PLT, Kristina Velkova.

Kristina, 21, is a student at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, fashion model and designer of the KV tees collection for PLT. I had the fortunate chance to talk to Kristina about her design, what inspires her, and her advice on making your dreams come true. Kristina is an absolute gem with a beautiful soul.  Here’s what she had to share on the launch of her new spring collection tees.

LofBB: Tell us the inspiration around the design of the exclusive KV Tee for Peace Love Threads.

KV:  One of the inspirations came from a friend of mine who’s French. He has a really cool, hip style about him. One of the biggest trends in NY that he wears are the skinny jeans, boots, blazers, and tees with pictures on the front. I grasped to the trend and used my resources to execute the idea.

Being a student of FIT and fashion model in the industry adds to that inspiration  I am blessed to not only have the educational background, but real-world, hands-on experience on speaking to buyers and working with customers.

“Life presents you with an opportunity at various points in your life. I think you should go for what you want if it’s something you believe in. The right moment will present itself.” – Kristina Velkova

LofBB: This piece reminds me a lot of the 90’s when the college kids we wearing the pork pie hats, skinny jeans and tees, hanging out at the coffee shops reading poetry. This can also be dressed up with cute pair of skinnies, a blazer, and heels. The style can resonate well various looks.

KV: Exactly!

LofBB: So tell me, why join and partner with Peace Love Threads?

KV: Everything about PLT aligned so well with my style and vision, from the mission {To curate a selection of threads for the woman who wants to look as good outside, as she feels inside.} to the creative ideas and overall just inspiring others. PLT allows me to pour my creativity into an outlet which let’s me express my artistic self.
