Who is Jonathan Simkhai? If you’ve never heard of this young, talented NYC based designer, then you should. Jonathan started his career as a fashion designer at age 14, today he is a proud member of CFDA (Fashion Incubator program) that supports new generations of New York based fashion talent. When I first saw Jonathan Simkhai designs I was immediately attracted to the body silhouette, stretchy fabric and soft feminine colours. Designer himself reveals that he creates ‘his take on sophisticated, cosmopolitan woman’. I also admire how easily Simkhai can mix wood, lace, silk and cashmere. His creations are elegant and cosy at the same time. Style.com reports: ‘Simkhai is a big believer in consistency, and he’s right to keep his look grounded in sportif details, which have been prevalent since his first collection’. In his spring/summer collection, the designer colored his popular knits, tees and skirts with pale blue against a blue-black background. He said during his presentation: ‘It adds an element of danger and intrigue’
Observer magazine also praises his latest collection. The magazines reports : ‘The voluptuous stars are drawn to Mr. Simkhai’s supremely sexy, yet tastefully cut designs, which drape around the body in a way that shows a whole lot of curve without much skin. His signature, thick jersey-knit pencil skirt and crop top combinations are on trend yet clean and classical’. Many celebs have already approved Simkhai’s designs. Beyonce and Kim Kardashian are among them.
So, lets take a look at his spring/summer 2015 collection. Best sellers are knit intarsia crop top and pencil skirt, dresses with black and white combo. The collection with its combination of sporty, sexy and feminine attire captures the eye, abstract cutouts, sheer fabric and mesh made the body an integral part of the collection.
If you are excited about Jonathan Simkhai the way I am, you can find his creations at Harrods, Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Intermix and online emporium Net-a-Porter. Or, and you can of course go to his website directly and order one of the body hugging dresses today.
