From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki



Introduction: Jonathan Simkhai (born, May 6, 1985) is an American luxury fashion designer. In 2010, Jonathan launched his eponymous label after years of experience as a buyer and merchandiser. Jonathan honed his technical skills at Parsons School of Design and the Fashion Institute of Technology. Early success of the label propelled Simkhai into the CFDA (Fashion Incubator) program and in 2015, he won the prestigious CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award.

The core aesthetic of the Jonathan Simkhai 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.

In 2018, Jonathan Simkhai relocated the brand headquarters to LA operating a multi-level atelier and showroom, as well as the brands first retail shopping destination. The store is open to the public and located at 653 N. La Cienega Avenue, adjacent to Melrose.

Early Life: Simkhai grew up with two brothers, Amir and Joel Simkhai (founder of Grindr), in Mamaroneck, New York. His parents, Orna and Beni Simkhai, were both born in Iran and moved to Israel before coming to the United States.

While Simkhai was living in Mamaroneck, his love for fashion began to blossom as he took on his first retail job at the age of 15. From there, he discovered the worlds and of styling and design, which led him to study at Parsons and FIT.

Career: Jonathan launched his label in New York City in 2010 as a full range women’s ready-to-wear collection. Knitwear and lace dresses quickly became the brands hero styles and still remain as strong product categories.

In 2015, Simkhai won the CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund Award, allowing him the opportunity to grow his business globally and expand into additional categories. Since 2010, Simkhai has expanded his product category releasing both denim and swimwear, while also launching capsule collections with Carbon38 and Reebok.

Simkhai is currently sold in over 200 stores across 40 countries. The first ever Jonathan Simkhai retail store opened in July of 2018, where all categories and capsule collections are sold.
