Behind the New Dream Collection

Behind the New Dream Collection

Our first ever collection, revisited by designer, Brigette Kaminski.

Initially designed in 2022 and released in 2023, the New Dream Collection is more than clothing — it’s a reflection of the life you choose to create. It was the first collection of its kind — incorporating natural stones on every item. Its standout piece, the New Dream Sports Bra, became our most sought-after design—positioning KAMINSKA among the very few brands to offer a high-performance bra made entirely of organic cotton. A bold statement that natural fibres can innovate, elevate, and perform at the highest level.

Our Inspiration 

Inspired by the opening introduction of The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom by Don Miguel Ruiz, this collection draws on the idea that “dreams” are not just the visions we have in sleep, but the realities we build in our waking lives. Spiritually, a “new dream” represents a fresh way of seeing the world — one grounded in awareness, intention, and possibility. 

We specifically hand-selected the stones for this collection based on their symbolism and meaning. Each stone was chosen with intention and is symbolic of characteristics that may help one step into a new reality. From the courageousness represented by Tiger's Eye, to the self-love embodied by Rose Quartz, every stone had a purpose - to remind you of qualities that help you enter into your new dream. Whatever that dream is.

With every piece, we invite you to step into your own new dream: to embrace beauty, authenticity, and the confidence to live your truth.

Humble Beginnings

Our first pieces were designed in my grandmother's small living room. My mother and I worked on creating and drawing the patterns and my grandmother meticulously hand-stitched all of our first samples. My closest cousin, Madeline, and I wore the samples for months afterward, testing them in every way that we could. It was a really exciting time for us and it was all the more special to be doing it together.

Pioneering our innovative collection taught us a lot and made us a stronger team and brand. It was important to us to focus on the customer experience above all else and we are proud of that. We never lost sight of our purpose and stayed aligned with our true values along the way."

The Collection Pieces 

For our first-ever collection, we decided to go with a concise three-piece offering. Our initial release includes:

  • New Dream Sports Bra- an innovative organic cotton bra-top with a removable natural stone at the heart. Its full-coverage fit and elongated style made the perfect fit for a diverse range of women.
  • New Dream Turtleneck Bodysuit - a cotton bodysuit with a full-bottom bikini cut and a high neck with a zipper featuring a clear quartz natural stone. The zipper was designed to allow you to hold the stone at your throat or heart space.
  • New Dream Flared Slacks - a bamboo based capri-cut with a natural stone KAMINSKA Signature "K" button at the hip.

The Featured Stones

We decided to release a wide range of stone options with our collection. All of our stone features include 100% sterling silver fastenings to ensure superior quality and longevity. 

This collection saw the release of our Signature KAMINSKA "K"  button. Designed in Toronto, alongside the talented Peter Van Walraven, an award-winning jeweller, geologist and beloved friend of Brigette. The KAMINSKA "K" embodies a masculine touch to a feminine brand. Cast in silver with a slender K, this button was initially released in Tiger's Eye and Onyx. It later expanded to include Malachite and Mother-Of-Pearl options. 

Our stone options include:

  • Rose Quartz. The stone of love, found exclusively on our New Dream Sports Bra. 
  • Lapis Lazuli. The stone of adventure and awakening, found exclusively on our New Dream Sports Bra. 
  • Rainbow Moonstone - The stone of the divine feminine, found exclusively on our New Dream Sports Bra. 
  • Onyx. The ultimate protection stone, a classic glossy black, found exclusively on our New Dream Slacks.
  • Tiger's Eye. The ultimate warrior stone renowned for its courageous nature, found exclusively on our New Dream Slacks. 
  • Clear Quartz. A powerful, multidimensional deep soul cleanser, found exclusively on our New Dream Turtleneck bodysuit.
