News & Updates

Thank you for an amazing 2014! Many fabulous & rewarding moments in 2014 for us but the highlight is being able to GIVE and make a difference in the lives of children, animals, and those in need around the world through our Causes Collection. As we reflect back, we're more thankful that we can continue to work towards our vision of making the world a more compassionate & happier place for all living beings. We look forward to our 2nd full year in BLOOMING 2015 with you!

Rain & even a small earthquake didn't stop us in Dallas from celebrating female artists & artisans at our 2nd Annual Chiks Night Out!

We're bringing our annual Chiks Night Out back, and this year it's all about compassionate shopping & art!

We led with love and compassion!

This past Saturday was an honor for Team Cykochik to walk alongside 100+ passionate & compassionate animal advocates speaking up for farm animals everywhere! Thank you for helping us surpass our team's fundraising goal & raising $550 for farm animals. Thank you, Farm Sanctuary and coordinators Elizabeth and Aubrey for the opportunity to lead the Dallas group for Walk for Farm Animals!  Funds raised will go towards rescuing, feeding and administering urgent care for farm animals.

Let's talk the talk & walk the walk to save farm animals everywhere this Saturday! 

This Saturday, November 1st, we're proudly leading the walk for the annual Farm Sanctuary's Walk for Farm Animals - Dallas at Main Street Garden, and we want compassionate animal lovers like yourself to join us!

On Sunday, October 19th, Cykochik took Reverchon Park as a sponsor and vendor at the 5th annual Texas Veggie Fair. 

The shopping tales of two cities happened this past Saturday, August 23, 2014 in Dallas & in Los Angeles!  This was a first for us to be in two different cities and to have a pop-up in LA at the very first PETA #VeganFashion Pop-Up event!  We’re sure this is the first of many fun weekends and pop-ups though!  

It was fun & fabulous to be one of the 5 designers featured in the recent 2nd FASHION & FILM!  This past Saturday, August 16, 2014, we rocked the runway with other brands like Status, Cantoinette Studios, Love, Peace & Stones and aftershock LONDON at the historical Margo Jones Theatre in Fair Park.

Halfway into the 2014 year, we reflect back and can’t believe how fast it has gone by and HOW FUN it has been!  We leaped into new territories this Spring by launching a new compassionate collection (joining forces with PETA and Against The Grain Productions on this!), unveiling a super fun video to thank and commemorate 10 years, getting out and setting up more pop-up shops and a lot more! 

      

We've kicked off 2014 in style as a presenting designer for one of Dallas' biggest fashion shows, The Pin Show last Saturday 2/22/14 at the Goodyear Plant in the Design District!  It was an amazing experience to be a part of such a fun fashion event with 23 other Dallas/TX indie designers, who are all supporting local manufacturing. We showed 6 looks on the runway and debuted our new Causes Collection in collaboration with PETA and ATG Productions. We couldn't be prouder to present a cruelty-free collection of handbags on the runway!...

As a Dunny collector, I'm like a kid in a toy store at ATAMA – a Dallas boutique shop at Mockingbird Station dedicated to designer toys like Kidrobot and limited edition {affordable} art. I love that they support local artists so I'm extremely excited to have Cykochik available at ATAMA and share our support for emerging artists!
