Jonathan Cohen was born and raised in California to Mexican parents, but it was in New York at the Parsons School of Design that he found his aesthetic voice. During his time in and out of Parsons, Jonathan worked along various designers such as Oscar de la Renta, Doo.ri Chung, Ashleigh Verrier and Patricia Field.
" Jonathan designs for the woman that is bold, elegant, and equally rebellious."
His work is influenced by the multi-dimensional influences of sub-culture, construction, places and music. Whether it’s the classic rock concerts his father took him to as a young boy, the bright and eccentric art of Mexico City, or the way the surfers in his hometown wore their wetsuits, each characterisitc presents itself in Jonathan’s well-executed designs.
