Kiko Kostadinov

Born in Sofia and raised partly in London, Kiko Kostadinov graduated from Central Saint Martins' MA Fashion course in 2016 with a workwear-rooted collection that drew immediate attention. He launched his eponymous menswear label the same year and has since built it into one of London's most distinctive technical-tailoring houses, with womenswear designed by Laura and Deanna Fanning added in 2018. He has held creative roles at Mackintosh 0001 and produced influential collaborations with Asics, including the Gel-Burz and Gel-Sokat. In parallel he was a founding member of the London label AFFXWRKS, contributing to its early collections of utilitarian uniform-inspired clothing.
