Tanner Kok is a New York based fashion designer, atelier artist, photographer, and creative director whose practice moves across garment construction, image, performance, material experimentation, music, and live presentation.


Through TANNERNYC | PREMIUM KOK, fashion is approached not as a succession of isolated objects, but as an evolving language built through experience, observation, experimentation, and encounter.




The work often begins somewhere unexpected.


A material behaves differently than anticipated. A photograph establishes a color that reappears years later. A model’s movement changes the balance of a silhouette. A technical problem creates a new surface. A piece of hardware suggests a fastening system.


An object made for an entirely different purpose becomes structural. Music changes the perceived rhythm of a collection. A garment creates the first idea for another before the original has even left the atelier.




These discoveries accumulate.

They become LINEAGE
