Natasha Zinko (born in Odesa, Ukraine) is a London-based fashion and jewelry designer. She specialises in women’s wear and jewellery design with her main boutique in London, United Kingdom.
Early life
[edit]In her early life, Zinko studied law, but ultimately became a fashion designer.[1]
Natasha pursued fashion design at the Central Saint Martins, where she learned the basics of jewellery design.[2] Zinko later created her own jewellery brand and ready-to-wear clothes for women.[3]
She stated “When I was doing my foundation at Chelsea College of Art and Design I discovered I was good with 3D sculpture, but since I don’t like working with big things, small-scale design really felt like the right thing. When I applied to Central Saint Martin’s to study jewellery design that was my main focus“.[4]
“Jewellery design always comes through my emotions and feelings. I believe that jewellery could have a protective power, like a charm. Designing jewellery, you are thinking 3D on a smaller scale, while making clothes gives you the opportunity to play with bigger dimensions. Clothing is always inspired by my day-to-day life and surroundings.”
