Jay Godfrey

Jay Godfrey is the founder and creative director behind his eponymous collection of sleek, sexy and sophisticated designs. Perpetually inspired by the chic New York woman, Godfrey's goal as a designer is to meld the classic tailoring techniques of Savile Row with modern silhouettes and luxurious fabrics. The result is his distinctive contemporary collection of dresses and separates that accentuate the female figure.

A native of Toronto, Godfrey realized his dream of becoming a designer while working his first summer job at Hugo Boss. He studied finance at Montreal's McGill University in order to gain a grounding in business and accounting. Upon graduating, Godfrey headed to Wall Street and worked for Citigroup. While learning the finer points of finance, Jay's goal of designing a collection led him to Parsons School of Design. An internship with Oscar de la Renta fine-tuned the young designer's style and technique, and helped him determine the ultimate Jay Godfrey woman.

Having only been in business for a little over two years, Godfrey has quickly cultivated his signature aesthetic, which perfectly lends itself to the fashion-forward and glamorous woman. The collection has caught the media's attention and has been featured in WWD, ELLE, Cosmopolitan and the New York Post. Godfrey's designs have also captured a loyal celebrity following and he is proud to have dressed Eva Mendes, Jennifer Lopez, Petra Nemcova, Carmen Electra, Sarah Michelle Geller, Gabrielle Union, Kate Walsh, Katherine Heigl and Jaime Pressly.

Running on Tokyo Time
By Cathay Che/MOLI

By 5 pm of my first day of walking Tokyo's streets, I started to understand why so many people wear surgical face masks. I felt filthy; my feet, even in the most comfortable shoes I own, felt like lead weights; and I was in desperate need of an oxygen tank or other cleansing and energizing infusion. Luckily, a disco nap for an hour didn't prevent me from hitting one last store (shops stay open until 8 pm daily since shopping is Tokyo's main event): RagTag, six floors of designer resale.

Get Your Gunz
By Theo Kogan/MOLI

What is it about guns, grenades, and sharp objects that are so alluring aside from the obvious, danger? Perhaps the actual shape is pleasing to us in its horror? Especially when it's gold or metallic and lighting up a room, neck, wrists, fingers, or ears.
