AFFXWRKS is a London-based design collective founded in 2016 by a group of influential figures in contemporary fashion, including Stephen Mann, Kiko Kostadinov, Taro Ray, and Michael Kopelman. What began as a radio show on the pirate station Know Wave evolved into a menswear label centered on the principle of “New Utility.” The brand reinterprets traditional workwear and sportswear through a conceptual, experimental lens, merging functional, industrial-inspired design with the aesthetic of modern streetwear. Its first products appeared in 2017, with a hyped debut at Dover Street Market that established its forward-thinking approach.
