Before launching his own business, he worked as the design director of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/fashion\/best-knitwear-brands-fall-2022\">knitwear<\/a> at DVF for four years, working closely with then-Creative Director Jonathan Saunders. In 2025, Zankov briefly returned to DVF to design a one-off collaborative capsule collection for the brand, sold exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>Zankov, who was born in St. Petersburg, Russia and immigrated to the United States with his family as a young child, has consistently shown on the New York Fashion Week calendar, holding runways each season since launching his independent label in 2020. For the upcoming September season, he\u2019ll show his debut collection at DVF, likely alongside his usual Zankov presentation.<\/p>\n<p>For those unfamiliar with the designer himself, you\u2019ve certainly seen his work. Beyond being named the CFDA\u2019s American Emerging Designer of the Year in 2024, he\u2019s also dressed plenty of major celebrities, including Troye Sivan and Gabrielle Union, in his uniquely playful and always vibrant knitwear. <\/p>\n<p>Von Furstenberg noted in a press release, \u201cI am excited to see Henry\u2019s designs, sense of color, and effortless sensibility seduce a new generation.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"fX2 rhF jIS\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"display:block\" class=\"lqj TnP\">\n<div class=\"BMP\">\n<div>(Stay Up To Date)<\/div>\n<div class=\"nnm\">Become A Style Insider<\/div>\n<div class=\"P8h\">Join The Zoe Report\u2019s exclusive email list for the latest trends, shopping guides, celebrity style, and more.<\/div>\n<div><button type=\"submit\" class=\"Ex8 qgj\">Submit<\/button><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"g-0\">By subscribing to this BDG newsletter, you agree to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bdg.com\/info\/terms-of-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Terms of Service<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bdg.com\/info\/privacy-policy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Privacy Policy<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/newsletter\">Subscribe to our newsletter &gt;<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>.page-469037607{&#8211;metaColor:#876821;&#8211;navColor:#876821} (News) Henry Zankov Is Diane Von Furstenberg\u2019s New Artistic Director A new title for the 54-year-old brand. by Brooke Frischer 14 minutes ago Courtesy of DVF On Wednesday morning, Diane von Furstenberg (DVF) announced New York-based designer Henry Zankov as its artistic director \u2014 a new title at the brand.
