Kiko Kostadinov

Bulgarian-born and London-based designer Kiko Kostadinov rose to prominence shortly after graduating from Central Saint Martins, where his graduate collection earned widespread attention for its sharp tailoring and conceptual take on utility. Drawing inspiration from uniforms, workwear and performance gear, Kostadinov brings a cerebral edge to menswear, refining rugged references through advanced pattern cutting and construction. His signature use of asymmetric panelling, layered textures and abstract motifs define the brand’s directional silhouette. The designer has cultivated a strong visual identity through ongoing collaborations with Asics, producing a string of cult sneakers like the Gel-Kiril and Gel-Quantum Zientzia. Other partnerships include projects with Camper, Affix, Mackintosh and Hysteric Glamour, blending technical innovation with fashion-forward design. The ready-to-wear collections include standout pieces such as structured jackets, tapered trousers, deconstructed shirts and geometric knitwear—all crafted with a focus on movement, proportion and function.
