Kiko Kostadinov debuted their Autumn/Winter 2024 Collection today in Paris, showcasing designers Laura and Deanna Fanning's creations of balance as well as a tipping point of strength, vulnerability and seductiveness for the Kiko Kostadinov woman. The dichotomies make up a series of characters that mediate their environment, seen wearing structured breeches and jackets – each one distinct thanks to their pleats that remain fluid through movement. Softness and boldness mix effortlessly in bold and opaque fabrics and distorted shapes. Satins, sheer crepes and coated cotton are sprinkled throughout the collection, pinched and tucked in the knitwear and draped shawl collar suits.
The Mezulari bag appears for the first time as a version of the carry-all messenger bag with a collapsed body executed in fuzzy suede and fine grain leather. Textured mulberry silk caps in reletable tones, modular jewelry consisting of earrings and necklaces are carved away in repetition revealing beads of tigers eyes and pearls. The brand’s defining shoe of the season boasts a shape adorned with faux shearling and suedes. Kiko Kostadinov plays on a variety of desires, intact and worn-in, serving as distinguishable markers of vulnerability and tenderness within us.
