Made by Niki featured in New KT Tunstall Video

Made by Niki has been collaborating with KT Tunstall over the last few months, to create an awesome collection of one-of-a-kind touring trousers to take her from the studio to the stage to the stadium.

The specially made pieces were designed to suit KT’s new rock-meets-rave vibe while providing on-stage excellence using a high-performance, breathable laminated denim which has the genius benefit of reflecting the hot glare of the lights while wicking moisture and temperature away from her body.

In the newly posted docu-video for the new tune ‘Push That Knot Away’, KT is seen on stage wearing the laid-back ‘gig’ version which enables her to look effortlessly cool, paired with a loose fitting tee reminiscent of pure rock establishment. We highly advise that you listen to this LOUD, and let us know what you think of KT’s new look and sound…

As the momentum of the ‘Tiger Suit’ tour builds, we hope to be glimpsing KT in the increasingly daring and fashion-forward versions we have created for her, which include 2-tone fringe embellishments and daring sheer cutouts.

The new album and full tour, entitled ‘Tiger Suit’, will be kicking off this September 2010, but KT couldn’t wait to post a docu-video on her official Youtube channel to give us a taste of what’s to come, citing ““There’s no WAY I could wait till September before you heard anything!!”

Whilst KT’s are ‘one of a kind’, you could try our moisture wicking ‘Slinkies’ body sculpt leggings, which are grippy on the inside, slippy on the outside to stay in place while letting your clothes drape just as they should.
