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.
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.”
