Jonathan Simkhai Fall 2013: Going 2 Tone
Jonathan Simkhai‘s girl changes her tune each season, while always managing to maintain the same sophisticated-hipster vibe.

How I’m Making It: Jonathan Simkhai
Jonathan Simkhai’s love of fashion started long before he knew he wanted to be a designer. Between bonding with his mom in department stores and helping his girlfriends go shopping, Simkhai began to develop a discerning eye for style. The New York native worked in retail and buying throughout his college years at Parsons and FIT, and realized just how much he enjoyed dressing women and making them look and feel their best.

Working with the same menswear-inspired aesthetic that’s earned him many fans among the fashion flock, Simkhai mixed double-breasted camel blazers with skinny cranberry-colored pants and leather tees with side-buckled flannel mini-kilts. While certain elements of his collection felt a bit familiar–how many iterations of the chunky V-neck sweater layered atop a buttoned-all-the-way-up oxford have we seen now?–there were also plenty that seemed fresh and new.
