Armenian label KimLin, founded in 2022 by Yeva Hovhannisyan and her mother Lin, made an impressive showing at Fashion Scout Ones to Watch during London Fashion Week with its latest collection, Skylines.
Rooted in craftsmanship, architectural inspiration, and family heritage, KimLin is already recognised for its ability to merge precise tailoring with bold creativity. As winners of Fashion Scout Armenia, Yeva and Lin have placed individuality and cultural pride at the heart of their work, while maintaining technical excellence.
For Spring/Summer 2026, Skylines drew inspiration from the architectural elegance of Zvartnots International Airport, a modernist landmark of Armenian design. The collection translated the airport’s sweeping lines and structural forms into garments defined by clean silhouettes, eco-leather detailing, and decorative precision.
A mostly achromatic palette allowed the craftsmanship to shine, while a vibrant pistachio accent injected a fresh, modern energy. The result was a collection that felt architectural yet wearable, stylish yet sustainable—a strong statement of KimLin’s design ethos.
Captured brilliantly through the lens of Paul Winstone, KimLin’s Ones to Watch debut confirmed the brand as one to follow, bringing Armenian innovation and elegance to the global stage.
