For the women who “celebrate getting dressed everyday,” Kobi Halperin is known for his unique designs and his love for details. Deeply inspired by his Eastern European roots and heritage, Halperin’s collections are marked with a feeling of warm tradition expressed through the handcrafted touch and workmanship that embody his aesthetic.

Born and raised in Israel, the designer studied and received his BFA from Shenkar College of Engineering and Design. Upon graduating, he moved to New York where he served as  Executive Creative Director at Elie Tahari for 13 years and the Executive Creative Director at Kenneth Cole Productions for three years.

In 2015, Halperin 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, the collections are made with luxurious fabrics and beautiful hand-worked embellishments.  Accredited for creating an aspirational yet accessible label, the designer 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.

Halperin’s other passion in life is mentoring and developing the future of fashion.  He is actively involved in cultivating his alma mater’s emerging fashion students, as well as being a mentor to Savannah College of Art and Design students, and a role model to his two daughters, Mika and Gali.

Kobi Halperin has been a CFDA Member since 2016.
