Kiko Kostadinov Invokes the Evolution of Online Gaming for FW22
Designs played with contoured and detached silhouettes.
For the Fall/Winter 2022 season, Kiko Kostadinov was inspired by the evolution of online gaming and the reality of extended connection. Titled “XOLO,” the collection explores the virtual ether through dramatic silhouettes and dreamy colors.
Taking place at The Museo Diego Rivera Anahuacalli in Mexico City, the Teocalli-style temple architecture presented a sublime landscape to showcase an array of jeweled sorbet colors. Washed in shades of peach, pistachio green, taupe, fuschia, cerulean blue and more, Kostadinov’s designs played with contoured and detached silhouettes. With touches of medieval and military styles, collection moto pants featured knee rivet embellishments, tailcoats touted epaulets and lapels were laced with Mesoamerican silverwork.
The collection also presented a range of marbled jacquard knits, chevron tweeds and terry polos whose draped and oversized silhouettes were complemented by striped and color-blocked designs. Jackets served as a collection highlight with wrap shawl collars, marquis buttons, ribbed cuffs and several sensory embellishments. Rounding out the collection were platform sandals with distressed leather and crossbody pouches.
