Natasha Zinko Men’s Spring 2023

The Ukrainian-born, London-based designer Natasha Zinko beamed out many a message with this show, which she called “Queen of the Boxes.” The boxes of the title were TV screens, literal and figurative.

They greeted guests at the venue, blasting gray, fuzzy nothingness and also featured as repeating prints on dresses and placement ones on boxy shirts.

As those old TV screens crackled and fizzed, a mix of competing news reports from around the world formed the background soundtrack. “We need to beware of propaganda — and try to separate it from reality,” Zinko said during a walk-through of the collection.

Her other message was hope. “I believe in a future without war, and when I was designing, I was thinking about how people might live normally again,” she said.
