Natasha Zinko
Natasha Zinko is a unique London designer who specializes in fashion and jewelry design. Natasha Zinko is most known for her ready-to-wear women’s clothing. Growing up in the Soviet Union, Natasha Zinko was surrounded by gray and bleak colors that never matched her true personality or aesthetic. Therefore, when she began designing her clothing, she included lots of bright colors in each garment. Her products also incorporate a variety of mixed patterns, materials, textures, and graphics that take up the majority of the space on her garments. While Natasha Zinko is now an incredibly successful brand, she didn’t always aspire to be a designer. Natasha Zinko had originally planned on becoming a lawyer, but after lots of thought and realization, she decided she wanted to tap into a more creative career. Thus, she began by studying jewelry design at Central Saint Martins in London, England. After finishing her studies in England, Natasha Zinko decided to stay in London and later established her brand in 2011. Since the establishment of her brand, she has grown wildly, and her designs have been seen on many influential people, such as Lady Gaga, Doja Cat, Hailey Bieber, Cardi B, and many more. Natasha Zinko’s designs are out there, but that is what makes them so unique and intriguing. You don’t have to be the maximalist, bold type to wear her designs, but you might have to be willing to take a risk. A large part of fashion is taking risks and, if you want to take a risk with color or design, Natasha Zinko is the perfect brand for you.
