And considering that his family members were also creative individuals, creativity runs in his blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the future designer was a young boy, his true role model was his grandfather. He was a pub owner and a true gentleman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later, when Kestin started visiting public places himself, he became more and more aware of the power that brands hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In particular, he recalls how in the 1990s, everyone was buying branded t-shirts. This helped people feel more confident and establish their own style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Education\"><\/span><strong>Education<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the designer, he always knew what he wanted to do in life. Without hesitation, he made the decision to enroll in a design school and move to London, where he could work with some of the biggest brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During his studies, Kestin learned how to study vintage items, explored the history of clothing, its production, materials, functions, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dream\"><\/span><strong>Dream<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Kestin&#8217;s main dream was to create his own brand and unique, original collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This dream later led him back to Edinburgh, where he began to bring his vision to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Main_Idea\"><\/span><strong>The Main Idea<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, according to Kestin, his idea revolves around creating jobs, preserving and developing craft industries, and improving environmental impact.
