The DesignerKobi Halperin
For the women who "celebrate getting dressed every day," Kobi is known for his unique designs and his love for details. Inspired by his Eastern European roots and heritage, Kobi's collections are marked with a feeling of warm tradition felt in the handcrafted touch and workmanship that embody his aesthetic.
In 2015, Kobi launched his eponymous ready-to-wear label. The label embodies a European sensibility and is recognized by its crafted artisan details and modern femininity. With a design philosophy that aims to elevate the everyday, Kobi's collections are made with luxurious fabrics and beautiful hand-worked embellishments. Celebrated for creating an aspirational yet accessible label, Kobi bridges the gap between timelessness and trend and continues to build a dynamic brand with a global reach through smart design and a distinct point of view. In 2016, Kobi became a member of the CFDA.
Kobi also started designing for his longtime favorite French label, UNGARO, in 2021. His first collection for the label was Resort 21/22.
Kobi's other passion in life is mentoring and developing future designers, and being a role model to his two daughters, Mika and Gali.
Noir et Blanc
"This collection began with my visit to the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, where an exhibition on Paul Poiret showed just how modern the 1920s could feel."
The displays unfolded in a world of black and white with only the faintest touch of color, almost like an x-ray into the construction of ideas. Beautiful video installations played against raw cement walls, creating a striking mix of simplicity and sophistication. Poiret's motif — the iconic rose, and the spirit of Erté — stood out with a clarity that felt both historic and surprisingly contemporary.
I was inspired by the early fashion drawings of 1913–1920 — the lacey, moody glamour, the beginnings of modern sportswear, the rise of animal prints and stripes, the sense of travel that defined high summer.
Stripes appeared everywhere, in knitwear, in prints, in tailoring — a repetition creating a visual refresh between seasons.
There's something grounding about returning to pure black-and-white before moving back into florals and bold patterns.
