DNK Russia — is a Russian designer brand of family clothing and accessories production, founded by sisters Anna Alekseeva and Olga Kovalenko (both before marriages — Nichkova).[1]
Activity
[edit]In 2015, Anna Nichkova and Olga Nichkova began sewing baby clothes for their own newborn children according to their sketches. On summer of 2015, the first batch of children's clothing was sold using Instagram.
In 2016, a warehouse for clothes was opened. A year later, the sisters signed a contract with a sewing company, but the received batch turned out to be defective. This incident was the reason for the opening of there sewing workshop. In the fall of 2017, the official website of the company was launched.[2]
In 2018, they attracted the attention of the public with a project when models, children, singers, artists, star children, people with disabilities came to the same podium at the Moscow Fashion Week show.[3]
In 2020, as part of the #myplace campaign, 2 thousand hygienic masks were sewn for volunteers and the elderly people.[4][5][6]
On October 3, filming of the Cinema Fashion project "Another Reality" took place, where a show of various clothing brands was presented, including DNK.[7][8]
And also DNK is an eco—friendly brand. They abandoned polyethylene for packaging, replacing it with a convenient and practical alternative — a shopping bag.[9] And they continue to develop new packaging for deliveries that will meet all environmental requirements
Name
[edit]In 2015, when selling the first batch, the brand was named D&N Kids, since the Dom & Nica trademark was registered to Anna's husband. Later, the brand was renamed DNK Kids, then DNK Russia, as it is today.
