Kiko Kostadinov's Fall/Winter 2020 collection was showcased on the Paris Fashion Week runways and the Bulgarian designer turns his attention towards a more muted approach this time around. The color palette of the seasonal collection is quiet, informing items including the trim trousers, the zippered tops, and the slouched pullover sweaters.
To contrast, there are pieces with louder designs including floral patterns or pops of orange and blue to round out a wide variety of options throughout. In terms of the sleek cuts that make up the capsule are some sleeveless blazers, layering lapels, welt pockets, anatomical seams, and more. Additionally, the capsule also features a collaborative project alongside ASICS with a pair of running shoes that feature a chunky toe box and velcro strap.
