Henry Zankov is an American designer who specializes in knitwear. He launched his brand ZANKOV in 2020 to inject a sense of play, ease, and innovation through the use of color, pattern, and textures in knitwear and more. He creates an ever-evolving visual and tactile dialogue between a strong use of color, graphic patterns, knitwear, and the body.
For Mr. Zankov, quality and finish are paramount, and the inside of each garment is just as important as the outside. He often juxtaposes fine natural fibers such as virgin wools, mohair, Merino, and Alpaca with technical yarns. His pieces are knitted with clean, minimal surfaces using distinctly crafted techniques such as intarsias, double knit jacquards, and digital printing. With a fascination of color, art, architecture, sport, and the street, the brand explores a genderless and easy way to wear knitwear. Mr. Zankov is one of the recipients of the 2023 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund.
ZANKOV is available at retailers such as Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom Space, By George in Austin, McMullen in Oakland, and online at NET- A-PORTER, SSENSE, FRWRD, and Moda Operandi.
