Khanh Brice Nguyen is a French-Vietnamese designer redefining knitwear through a mix of technical craft, movement, and storytelling.
Originally wanting to be a comic artist, Khanh’s approach to fashion has always been narrative-led. After working at Dior and completing an MA in Knitwear at the Royal College of Art in London, he founded his own studio to explore knitwear as a space for experimentation and expression.
The designer’s process always starts with yarn, blending colors and developing original stitch structures. He works across hand knit, domestic machines, and digital technology, blending instinct with precision. He doesn’t apply knitwear to a design—he builds the design through the knit itself.
Khanh often collaborates with dancers, inspired by movement as a way to bring his work to life. The brand’s collections sit somewhere between ready-to-wear and contemporary dance costumes: reinvented basics with a sculptural edge, designed to move and shift with the body—a balance between structure and sensuality.
Khanh currently lives in London, where he also founded KBN Knitwear, a knitting consultancy supporting independent brands. Alongside his fashion work, he has returned to his first love—comics—and is currently developing a graphic novel on the theme of identity.
Together, these practices shape a singular approach to fashion—where each of Khanh Brice Nguyen’s collections becomes a story built through material innovation and immersive worldbuilding.
