New to the Name?
Jonathan Simkhai built his label in New York with a distinct approach to modern dressing. His clothes bring together the precision of tailoring with softer elements: draping, pleating, sheer fabrics, and fluid silhouettes. It is a combination that has defined the brand since its early years, when Simkhai won the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund in 2015. Since then, his designs have been worn by Michelle Obama and Taylor Swift, among other notable names.
The uniqueness in his style clearly defines the pieces now in store. A tailored dress can carry you from a workday into dinner, while a sheer shirt or fluid skirt can fit any occasion depending on what you pair it with.
The Collection
The Selene Gown is the most evening-focused piece in the edit, with a plunging neckline, waist cutouts and a pleated skirt that gives the silhouette movement. The cutouts keep the fitted upper half from feeling too formal, while the pleating adds volume and motion below.
For something more versatile, the Helena Combo Blazer Midi Dress combines two familiar wardrobe pieces in one. A sharply tailored black blazer forms the bodice, cinched at the waist, before giving way to a pleated ivory midi skirt. It has the polish of tailoring without the stiffness of a traditional suit, making it an easy choice when the day involves more than one kind of plan.
The Jazz Pintuck Midi Dress takes a quieter approach. Its deep plum shade and pintuck detailing give the dress enough structure to feel polished, while the midi length keeps it firmly in the realm of pieces you can return to beyond a single occasion.
The Esri Mini Dress is crafted in periwinkle ribbed knit with contrasting mesh panels for a modern, feminine finish. Featuring a round neckline and cap sleeves, its flattering silhouette is effortlessly chic and easy to wear, perfect for special occasions and elevated summer moments.
The Leon Shirt and Diana Midi Skirt come in a wine-toned sheer organza, creating a layered look that feels polished without being overly formal. Worn together, the transparency becomes part of the silhouette; worn separately, each can be worn individually to spice up your wardrobe.
The Stiles Shirt and Ovie Midi Skirt take a similar approach in navy. The shirt has a smocked waist that defines the shape, while the full-sweep skirt adds volume without overwhelming the look. Together, they make a strong occasion outfit. Separately, they are the kind of pieces that can earn their place in a working wardrobe.
Versatility is part of what makes Simkhai clothing interesting. The collection does not rely on basics in the traditional sense, but many of the pieces have enough structure and restraint to be styled more than one way.
