News & Updates - Recap

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.

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!
