about the designer
If we can’t be Russian heirs, then at least we can look like one—thanks to Kova and T. Along with longtime friend Christina Tang, Russian oil heiress Dasha Zhukova has designed an understated yet fashion-forward line that has already gained a celebrity following. Trendsetters like Kate Moss and Mary-Kate Olsen have been spotted rocking the slick Kova and T Oxy Leggings, and we’re right on their heels!
The duo launched their first collection of clean skinny jeans and high-waisted shorts in 2006 as a response to the over-embellished denim that was crowding the market. They gain influence from the styles observed in their diverse locales; Tang works out of L.A. and Zhukova is based in London. They have created the kind of clothing that they and their jetsetting friends want to wear. And we definitely want to be wearing Kova and T—the anti-brand that evokes that effortless sophistication we so covet.
