excerpt: Kiko Kostadinov. Spring 2027 - Paris Fashion Week
"...Which in turn, despite Kiko moving towards a more structured look from previous collections, with the overall collection portraying a rigidity which may be his renewed direction for future men's styles. And as noted with previous Kiko shows of the last 10 years, is his obvious interest in costume looks, ala movie productions, mainly in the science fiction prose, and very much within the 1970s aesthetics of the said dystopia/utopia wears. With his latest stylizations akin to the late costume designer Bill Thomas, and Thomas's Greco-Roman meets 1970s Disco costumes worn by the actors on the 1976 movie "Logan's Run" and warning about Proto-Fascism returning in the near future (now?), highlighted more so by Kiko's geometric flows.
And with that in mind, dare I say, Kiko latest arrays, do have have that Fascist Rationalism and early Soviet Constructivism, mixed with in a Totalitarian Fashion overture. Are we seeing fiction reflecting reality?
Do you agree?"
