Amazon Prime’s ‘Making The Cut‘ is an interesting show for people interested in fashion design and the ideas behind creating specific apparel. The series takes the form of a competitive design reality show and brings together a group of talented fashion designers worldwide. These contestants are then made to battle it out through a series of increasingly difficult challenges created to test their mettle, talent, technique, and vision, among others.

Besides, with a contestant getting eliminated after each challenge, the competition gets quite heated as the last one standing is offered a massive cash prize and some much-needed exposure. Switzerland-based designer Yannik Zamboni seemed quite a promising contestant from the time he was introduced on ‘Making The Cut’ season 3. Moreover, his outstanding drive, cheerful demeanor, and determination to do better made his fans curious to know more about the up-and-coming designer. Well, fret not because here is everything we know about Yannik.

Yannik Zamboni’s Small-Town Roots, Global Vision

Yannik hails from a close-knit family and grew up in a very small town in Switzerland that has about 700 people in total. Growing up in such a town made him develop a strong bond with his family, and to this very day, the designer holds his loved ones responsible for his success. In fact, he loves staying true to his roots even through his creations and often takes time out of his busy schedule to spend with his close ones.

Interestingly, Yannik enrolled in the Swiss Marketing Academy after high school to become a Swiss-certified marketing specialist. However, designing was always his passion; hence, in 2015, he entered the STF Schweizerische Textilfachschule as a fashion assistant. Since then, there was no looking back as the promising young designer completed his bachelor of arts degree in fashion design from the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland FHNW and made a name for himself in the fashion industry.

Yannik Zamboni’s Fashion Design Career

While still at university, Yannik gained some experience in event management working for Coty (Wella Schweiz), and in September 2018, he even undertook an internship role at the London-based Feng Chen Wang. Eventually, in September 2020, Yannik established his fashion brand, Maison Blanche, and has since been carving out a name for himself in the industry. Maison Blanche’s approach to design is quite unorthodox as Yannik tries to address all issues be it socio-political, ecological, or economical, through his designs.

Furthermore, a few of Yannik’s creations are also inspired by the LGBTQ+ community and the reforms they have fought for over the ages. Surprisingly, when talking about his appearance on ‘Making The Cut, he claimed that he was not interested in appearing on television, but since he was running short on funds, the massive prize money and the exposure appealed to him.

Is Yannik Zamboni Dating Someone?

Unfortunately, Yannik is quite private regarding his personal life and prefers to stay under the radar. He hasn’t revealed much about his dating life in public, and there are no reports linking him to a partner. This, coupled with the apparent absence of a special someone in his social media pictures, makes us assume that the designer is single and focused on furthering his already successful career.
