Yohan Serfaty FW10
By Editor in Fashion on January 26th, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Finally! We’ve been trying to track down images from Yohan Serfaty for what seems like forever. We’ve finally gotten our hands on images from this FW10 collection and, as with all his past collections, it’s hot.
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 label for women in A/W 2007-08 called Yohan Serfaty. 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.
“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.”
The Yohan Serfaty collection for winter 2010 is composed of leather or imitation leather jackets glue-backed in neoprene, assembled in over-locking, creating structures that are rigid and supple at the same time.
Other longer jackets, in the same concept, are raw cut in vegetal leather or in sheets of compact wool.
Inside the jackets and the coats, are masks mounted on zipped in removable breastplates, imparting on this elongated silhouette a somber aspect, which evokes the idea of protection.
Have a look for yourself in the pics below. If you like jackets, you’re going to LOVE this collection. We know it says it’s unisex, but it looks a lot like menswear to us. Or at least masculine unisex wear, if that category exists.




















I love love this deginer asthstic, its clearly modern and new wave. Been exploring for something new to wirte about. Thanks heartsonfire for the info.
