About Kiko Kostadinov 2/ Design Style
Because he was born in a blue-collar family, Kiko Kostadinov’s design vocabulary has always been inseparable from “pragmatism”. He once said in an interview: “There is nothing better than finding a pair of well-tailored trousers, but its buttons and belt fixing loops It’s worse than just decoration.” For him, purely decorative design elements should not appear in clothing. Clothing should focus on daily life, without deliberately showing off skills! Kiko is very keen on using a large number of arc splicing and asymmetrical designs to create rich visual effects. Through design techniques such as weaving, fabric splicing, and structural misplacement, Kiko presents more unique styles of clothing, and the bold color inspiration makes it even more popular. The brand breaks away from the so-called “orthodox workwear”!

If Kiko is the main contributor to ASICS’s success in attracting young consumers and becoming more “fashionable”, then cooperation with ASICS is definitely an important key to Kiko’s entry into the mass market.
