Forward-looking, ZANKOV will explore multiple areas of expression in relation to clothing, textiles, ceramics, home and collaborations. Zankov was named CFDA Emerging Designer of the Year in 2024.

Over the following seasons, the brand has cemented its place in New York Fashion Week, crafting a variety of runway-show-meets-performance narrative presentations that inspire audiences.
