Kiko Kostadinov SS27 by Deanna and Laura Fanning: the late Italian artist Nanda Vigo and light; a runway in near darkness with her lights and chairs
Kiko Kostadinov showed on Monday 5 October in Paris. The sisters, the label's co-creative directors, describe Vigo as a radical woman who worked for more than six decades. Vigo's own line on her work was that refracting light should force the viewer to think of the light.
