Yohan Serfaty











I do not make a difference between men and women. I believe that in our current era women are affirming their masculinity, men, on the other hand, are very much in touch with their feminine side. In some kind of way they’re joining each other in the middle. Nevertheless they still keep their personal mystery.”

French designer Yohan Serfaty was born in Casablanca in 1966. He studied political science but fueled his passion for creativity by spending his summer holidays as an intern at various French couture houses.
Serfaty launched his eponymous label for women in A/W 2007-08. Through his work, Serfaty tries to dissect the values given to clothes in this society of perpetual movement. Through continuous research he aims to reach the essential codes and become freed of any social representation, restrictions and to push the boundaries of how the body approaches the garment and vice versa.


This is his FW 09 collection; he has brought out more recent work with his menswear (A curious plethora of your average deconstructed pea coats and leather jackets) but personally I think this collection is his strongest. J'espere que tu l'aimes.
