For SS26, the designer presented a day in the life of his fictional island, literally running through a chronological cycle of imaginary outfit changes. With rapper Fakemink looking on from the fron row, Kostadinov’s island boys first appeared on the runway in slouchy stripes inspired by Bulgarian military pyjamas to start the day, and then got straight to work, switching to some monochromatic technical wear and buttoned boiler suits for the PAYE section of the show.
