Jonathan Simkhai heads to LA for the spring

As a New York designer, Jonathan Simkhai has recently unveiled plans to move towards the West Coast this year. For the spring season, it seems that the designer has started becoming more bi-coastal with a Los Angeles home.

Simkhai, still based as a New York designer, has just rented a new home in Hollywood Hills. According to WWD, he plans to stay there throughout the spring and have also moved out two of his employees. The reason for his bicoastal move was not explicitly stated, however as the rental is temporary it could serve as a vacation place. Simkhai has rented out the house with his current fiancé T.J. Allers. His house will also have a design room as well as a makeshift cutting room, according to the publication.

Although he has made the move to Los Angeles, Simkhai’s business is moving permanently any time soon. The main office of the company will remain in New York, however he will continue to do work during his stay in Los Angeles. With a team of 38 people, it seems the majority of the company will continue to stay based on the East Coast.
