Charlotte de Witte’s KNTXT Surprises ADE with Exclusive Filling Pieces Collaboration
The Belgian Techno Queen Charlotte de Witte has a full schedule this edition of the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE). With her own label KNTXT she will be taking over with Amsterdam-based fashion brand Filling Pieces to launch an exclusive collection, designed jointly by Charlotte and Filling Pieces founder Guillaume Philibert. The exclusive, limited collection will be available at the Filling Pieces store for a KNTXT pop-up collaboration from Wednesday October 19 until Sunday October 23, and online from October 20
Charlotte de Witte’s record label KNTXT and high fashion streetwear brand Filling Pieces have co-designed three limited-edition pieces. Merging KNTXT’s signature underground style and characteristic “X” with Filling Pieces’ exclusive designs and expertise, the collection is a perfect representation of both brands.
The collaboration between KNTXT and Filling Pieces is based around the concept that “No label can hold us.” Music should always be a space where no one can put you in a category by the way you dress, which skin color you have, or your gender/sexual orientation. The concept makes use of a very simple set while having a strong cast that features a variety of differences. By tapping a mixed cast and using a uniform look (with the same styling used on all) the collaboration seeks to remove the labels some might feel from the outside world, breaking the stigma of external dogmas put upon us.
Featured in this upcoming exclusive and limited collection are the KNTXT flannel jacket, the Leather Card Holder CdW, and the Jenn Boot Coal, a custom-branded, sturdy leather boot that borrows inspiration from the classic combat silhouette.
