The eagerly anticipated release of the first series of RDK Weekend Surprise has arrived. RDK and DJ Zhang Youdai are proud to host one of Denmark’s finest jazz bands, The Cathrine Legardh Quartet in Beijing. They will be performing for one-time only special performance at “THE PLACE” on May 14, 2010.

As a beloved member of the creative community, Youdai is someone who connects with our audience, and a person who has always made a priority of inspiring new connections through creative arts, Youdai is a natural fit for RDK,” said Angy Wang, brand manager for RDK.  “We look forward to our relationship with Zhang Youdai, and the opportunity to develop a special featured CD album that will be only released in RDK stores.”

Robe Di Kappa values its Italian roots from its brother brand Kappa and seamlessly inherits the sense of freedom, innovation and a relentless pursuit of perfection. At the same time what separates Robe Di Kappa from the sexy football spirit of Kappa is the low-key approach and ambition to reinvent sportswear into a new territory of luxury sports fashion.

Working with Trends Media, RDK fall/winter 2010 collection theme of “Modern Movement” was brought to life by Chinese supermodel Song Ning. The launch took place in March 29th at “Wall” art center in Beijing. Attendees include the talented DJ Zhang Youdai, local celebrities Wu Shixian, Mr and Mrs. Bei Bi and Xiao Yufeizhuo.

The brand collection was introduced by RDK brand Manager Ms. Angy Wang who explained the current fall/winter 2010 collection was inspired by the vibrant Modern Art Movement of the 1960s and elements from futuristic outer space exploration adventures.

Innovation and Transformation

Robe Di Kappa strives to reinvent sportswear fashion not just from a materials innovation, but also an alternative point of view wanting to change the relationship people have with their clothes; to appreciate quality, details and the act and event of wearing them in their environment.

Starting from 2008, Robe Di Kappa and UAL (University of the Arts London) have been working together to explore and innovative ways to bring alive Robe Di Kappa’s design philosophy with teams from United Kingdom, Netherlands, Italy, and China.

Like many fashion insiders, Robe Di Kappa believes that the perfect Italian cut can highlight the wearer’s physical appearance. Therefore, our team of designers believe in only designing clothing that’s not only wearable, but also reflect the body shape with a comfortable fabric in order for the wearer to truly experience the ‘placement’ and three-dimensional designs.

Breakthrough & Evolution

True its innovative spirit, Robe Di Kappa has also teamed up with Mainland China’s cutting edge creative agencies to engineer its marketing and working with renown interior design consultancy to create a unique retail identity for the brand. In addition, Robe Di Kappa is focused on constantly fuelling the creative culture in an effort to engage and educate its consumers its ‘sophisticated sports’ point of view.
