House of iKons September 2020: A Digital Success

The fantastic fashion show, House of iKons took its audience behind the scenes to gain an intimate insight into the world of the spectacular iKons.

The House of iKons on September 19, 2020, showcased the amazing show on digital platforms during Fashion Week London.

Founded by Savita Kaye, established under Lady K Production, the House of iKons Digital Show overcame the difficulties of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Speaking about the impact of coronavirus, Savita said:

“All industries are going through major changes, restructures. Consumers may not have the high disposable incomes that they are used too to purchase high-end designer brands (as the big brands are feeling the pinch too!)

“But one thing I do know, people around the world still want to look good in what they wear.

“I have stated this time and time again, that fashion plays a big part in our mental health. If we look good, we feel good.

“Our confidence increases and there is a positive impact on our personal and professional lives.

“I truly believe that the silver lining from this pandemic that the emerging creatives will do well.

“As consumers will still want to buy beautiful fashionable pieces which are sustainable, unique and affordable.

“It’s time for our iKons to be noticed and start taking over the market. They will become profitable and established businesses.”

Previously, the House of iKons has touched down in eight cities worldwide. These include LA, Beijing, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Amsterdam, Budapest and Cannes.

The Digital Show was presented by TV personality and host Jonny Pach.

As a key media partner, DESIblitz brings you the magnificent line-up, highlights, the hidden beauty of Kurdistan and much more.

Grand opening and Designers

Taking centre stage place at the grand opening, Sigrun transported viewers to the Viking times.

The designer’s creations captured the simplicity of the Viking era with a modern twist.

Speaking about the show, Sigrun stated:

“It was quite a challenge to have to think about a fashion presentation instead of a show and at first, I wasn’t sure how it would pan out.

“I started pulling together unseen footage I had and was lucky enough to be able to get people involved even though they were in lockdown across Europe.

“The outcome was an intimate sight – in my case into who I am as a designer.”

“The feedback I have received since the show has been phenomenal and extremely humbling.

“I do believe that in the future, shows need more intimacy with the designers as well as showcasing their work and if anyone has the foresight to make it, it will be the House of iKons as Savita has a knack for breaking the mould.”
