Achievement
London-based designer Kiko Kostadinov progressed his eponymous label to unprecedented heights in 2018, delivering a variety of covetable releases to his growing cult-like fanbase. Along with the brand’s seasonal menswear collections, Kostadinov debuted womenswear, designed by twin sisters Deanna and Laura Fanning, to much acclaim. Simultaneously, Kostadinov continued his collaborations with Camper and Asics, revamping both label’s footwear heritage into covetable contemporary styles. Similarly, Kostadinov’s work as Mackintosh’s creative director yielded expansive seasonal collections rich with texture, color and dynamic shapes. The British designer also partnered with Stephan Mann and his other friends to issue the debut range of workwear-leaning Affix Works gear, followed by an Affix-directed Stüssy x Dickies collaboration.
