Jonathan Simkhai
Jonathan Simkhai joins a roster of fresh American designers whose contemporary take on the fashion landscape plants them at the forefront of the style zeitgeist. Winner of the 2015 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, the relative newcomer launched his eponymous brand in 2010, having honed his skills at New York’s Parsons School of Design and the Fashion Institute of Technology. Characterised by a playful use of fabrics and clean, minimalist lines interspersed with romantic details, Jonathan Simkhai counts Gigi Hadid, Scarlett Johansson and Rihanna as fans of its body-conscious silhouettes. From figure-skimming cocktail dresses to flirty separates with a tailored edge, the excitement is palpable as applause for the brand only continues to gather pace
