Natasha Zinko’s models were all wrapped up — in denim scarves, layered clothing and faux fur — but it wasn’t to keep out the autumn chill. Instead, the loose-fitting clothes and wraparound looks were more of a post-op disguise for ladies making stealth trips to and from the cosmetic surgeon.
“It’s the after-care look,” said Zinko, whose collection was a lighthearted follow-on from spring 2025, where she explored the concept of perfection and the psychology of people who medically alter themselves.
Zinko’s pre-fall ladies were day patients only, donning loose, comfortable clothes that allowed them to move with ease — and discretion — following their various “tweakments.” Many of the models wore silk scarves pulled low over their eyes, and modest outfits that hid every inch of skin.

Looks included a boxy black dress with ties at the back that was a fusion of a hospital gown and a lab coat. Surgical-style glove fingers sprouted from the edges of long scarves, like fringe, and from the front pockets of roomy cotton shirts with long sleeves.
Denim pieces were rough-hewn, and robust. Ultra-wide-leg, bleached-out jeans fit tight as a corset around the waist, while patchwork skirts and dresses were long and roomy. One jacket came with a midnight blue faux fur lining, adding warmth — and glamour — to the dash between car and clinic.
The collection also had a sustainable angle. Zinko, who hangs on to every stitch of her deadstock and past collections, pressed past seasons’ fabrics into action. She turned a black-and-white polka-dot fabric from 2017 into a long, roomy dress, a hoodie and a long-sleeve blouse, and whipped a green tartan fabric from the archive into a cool schoolgirlish skirt.
Zinko also brought back her men’s cotton briefs, which have been proving popular with customers including Charli XCX and Blackpink’s Jennie Kim. Both singers wore them (in different colors) for recent performances, proud to flash the flesh, with or without cosmetic enhancement.
