GEKIDÖ LTD is an ideas company that was started as a creative extension of myself. I felt like I wanted to create the art and items of clothing I was not seeing online and within my local community of Bristol.

I felt like I wanted to create the art and items of clothing I was not seeing online and within my local community of Bristol. As a passion, I have consumed so much information regarding fashion and more specifically streetwear. It came to a point where it felt as if I was able to make something then, I shouldn’t be buying it from someone else. To be able to do so, I decided to educate myself on being proficient within the necessary graphic design resources. This allowed me to be able to digitally create the artwork and graphics for the clothing I wanted to wear and see in the world around me. This allowed me to have an idea and eventually materialize it into a marketable product.

From my perspective, I came from a digital design background. I have always had a continuous passion for film-making, video editing and creating art using ADOBE creative cloud. Before Leon reached out to me, I had prior experience in the fashion field creating designs for local, small-time, start-up brands.

What makes us unique to other companies is our proficiency to keep up-to-date with exploiting contemporary tech such as ai within our creative processes. We use tools such as DALL-E’s Text-to-Image generation program to have an abundance of samples to use within our graphic design. This helps us to cut costs and optimises our creative output.

Within the current climate of the fashion industry, wastage and over-consumerism are prolific. To combat this, it is vital that sustainability is a core value at the centre of our company.

We also aim to support the local art community of Bristol, representing independent artists and supplying affordable high-quality, organic streetwear garments to customers

Our start-up has no limits to what it can become within the creative sphere of Bristol and the UK. It should be one that should be universally accessible to everyone. Our core value stands at providing a voice of expression to people to promote following your passion within the arts and creating what you can; whatever it may be.
