Kiko Kostadinov 터틀넥

Menswear designer Kiko Kostadinov established his namesake brand in 2016. His collections gained a cult-like following and in 2018 the brand expanded to include a womenswear division with sisters Laura and Deanna Fanning at the helm. With degrees in womenswear and knitwear from Central Saint Martins, the Fanning sisters explore the duality of modern-day femininity through unconventional pattern cutting, off-beat texture pairings, and unusual color combinations—satin blazers boast cut-outs, wide-leg trousers feature two-tone paneled constructions, and velvet dresses showcase intricate gathering techniques. Successful collaborations with Asics, Camper, and Medea have also seen the label expand its offering into shoes and accessories with a utilitarian tilt. Under the creative direction of the Fanning sisters, Kiko Kostadinov has established a unique visual identity with its off-kilter womenswear that speaks to the alchemy of femininity.
