Kęstutis Lekeckas has made history by winning the top prize in the International Design Awards (IDA) held annually in Bangkok. Previously recognized in the men's fashion category, Lekeckas achieved unprecedented success by being awarded the highest honor among all categories, which include accessories, jewelry, footwear, women's fashion, and more. This prestigious award is particularly notable as he is the first designer from Lithuania to obtain recognition at this level, with submissions evaluated from over seventy countries.

In discussing the current trends in design, Lekeckas emphasized the growing importance of sustainability in fashion. He noted that sustainability has become a standard consideration in the industry, with modern creative value being derived from the clarity of a collection's message. In today’s saturated market of clothing, he believes it is essential for collections to convey a clear narrative that can be understood without further explanation. This insight aligns with contemporary design thinking, which increasingly prioritizes both aesthetic and environmental considerations.

Lekeckas’ collection, titled "The Error of Perfection," reflects a deep exploration of the relationship between humanity and contemporary design practices. The award serves not only as a personal triumph for Lekeckas but also as a significant moment for Lithuania in the global design landscape. It highlights the country's growing influence and recognition in the creative industries, encouraging future designers to reach for international accolades and further develop Lithuanian design culture.
