Achievement

London-based designer Kiko Kostadinov has continued to grow his eponymous label — and this year confirmed that. He was awarded the British Emerging Talent Menswear Award by the British Fashion Council this October, affirming Kostadinov’s name in the industry. Along with the brand’s seasonal collections, Kostadinov released a full apparel and footwear collaboration with ASICS, which included a newly-designed sneaker. Similarly, after debuting womenswear designed in collaboration with twin sisters Deanna and Laura Fanning last year, Kostadinov teamed up with the designers once again to unveil a sneaker collection rich with bold colorways. Pursuing more artistic endeavors, the designer tapped French-Italian photographer Claude Nori for a selection of evocative apparel and closed out the COS x Serpentine Park Nights program alongside American artist Carrie Mae Weems.
