Kiko Kostadinov

Kiko Kostadinov is a UK luxury designer clothing label for men and women, founded in London in 2016 by Bulgarian-born designer Kiko Kostadinov. Kostadinov moved to London as a teenager, studied at Central Saint Martins and drew attention while still a student for deconstructed, cut-and-sew Stüssy pieces sold through Dover Street Market. He launched his own label after completing his MA, building it around modern-day uniforms, workwear and precise pattern-cutting. The menswear and womenswear collections include tailored trousers, jackets, coats, knitwear, shirts, dresses and skirts, often with bird-named styles such as the OSPREY Coat and HERON Belted Jacket, plus shoes, bags and scarves. Pieces are made mainly in Bulgaria and Japan, with some made in Italy. Womenswear has been designed since 2018 by Australian twins Laura and Deanna Fanning, who co-own the company with Kostadinov. The label is known for its long-running ASICS partnership, which began in 2017 with sneakers and grew into the ongoing Novalis line, as well as collaborations with Oakley. Kostadinov was supported by the British Fashion Council's NEWGEN scheme, served as creative director of Mackintosh 0001 from 2017, and the brand is stocked by specialist designer stores worldwide.
