My Favorite Underrated Fashion Designers: Jonathan Simkhai
Hello everyone, I missed you all so much and I hope that you all had an amazing Thanksgiving with your family and friends. During my week off, I found myself inspired by fashion by watching old episodes of Videofashion on the Tubi app on my phone and I found more appreciation for one of my favorite and underrated fashion designers, Jonathan Simkhai.
Established in 2010, the Jonathan Simkhai brand provides luxury ready-to-wear for the modern woman. The core aesthetic philosophy plays with the tension of feminine strength and sensuality; this is reflected in the employment of customized fabrics, romantic detailing, linear lines, and contoured silhouettes. Through designs that seek to embolden women with confidence and ease, the brand represents modern versatility. As a 2015 winner of the prestigious CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, Jonathan Simkhai continues to redefine the 21st-century wardrobe and reinvigorate American fashion.
Founded in New York, Jonathan Simkhai launched his eponymous label after years of experience as a buyer and merchandiser. He honed his technical skills at Parsons School of Design and the Fashion Institute of Technology. The early success of the label propelled Simkhai into the CFDA Fashion Incubator program where he developed his eye for quality of craft. Simkhai is continuously inspired by the built environment, which motivates his creative process and desire to push conventional design boundaries. His work often explores the confluence of technology and hand-made artistry.
In 2018, Jonathan Simkhai relocated his headquarters to Los Angeles, operating a multi-level atelier and showroom. The headquarters also houses its first retail shopping destination, offering ready-to-wear, exclusive collaborations, and custom designs.
How gorgeous is this dress from his Spring/Summer 2020 Ready To Wear Collection, I am in love with the pale yellow color and the lace underlay. I love that they kept everything clean and simple on the runway as well.
