ECCO.Kollektive by Kiko Kostadinov Explores Tech, Fantasy and Pop Culture
Through the lens of Laura and Deanna Fanning.
ECCO.Kollektive by Kiko Kostadinov just launched its second and final instalment, drawing inspiration from the concept of “technology as fantasy” and its allure within pop culture. Dubbed “Hypatia,” the collection includes a series of clothing and accessories, created through the lens of the womenswear design team and directed by Laura and Deanna Fanning.
Favoring “space-age” shapes and curvilinear lines, the collection aims to fuse precision, technology and Ecco’s signature leather. Minimal and sharp footwear is crafted from buttery soft nubuck, contrasting with hits of satin leather in glitzy metallics and mesh-like structures. Elsewhere, this season’s footwear offering includes a soft pull-on boot silhouette, reimagined in lower-cut styles that hark back to the archive of Ecco, building on classic shapes like the ever-popular Mary Jane.
Arriving in a color-pop-inspired palette of red, chartreuse and metallic shades, the vivid collection offers a range of utilitarian bag silhouettes, inspired by vintage flight uniforms and crafted from tumbled patent leathers with curved piping. Featuring a variety of sizes, from large travel bags to compact pouches and wallets, the accessory offering is playful yet practical.
Finally, the collection draws from classic leather motorcycle tropes and retro air travel, featuring a soft leather suit, trouser and jacket.
Take a look at the “Hypatia” collection and campaign above and head to the ECCO website to shop.
