Perpetually inspired by the chic New York woman, Godfrey\u2019s 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. Godfrey describes himself as a minimalist who embraces color in an unmistakably sensual way.<\/p>\n<p>Godfrey realized his dream of becoming a designer while working his first summer job at Hugo Boss. He studied finance at Montreal\u2019s 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\u2019s goal of designing a collection led him to Parsons School of Design. An internship with Oscar de la Renta fine-tuned the young designer\u2019s style and technique, and helped him determine the ultimate Jay Godfrey woman.<\/p>\n<p>Having only been in business for six 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\u2019s attention and has been featured in WWD, ELLE, Cosmopolitan and the New York Post. Godfrey\u2019s designs have also captured a loyal celebrity following and he is proud to have dressed Eva Longoria, Emma Stone, Jennifer Lopez, Eva Mendes, Angie Harmon, Eve, Leighton Meester, Petra Nemcova, and Sarah Michelle Geller.<\/p>\n<p>In 2008, Parsons The New School for Design presented the designer with the Parsons Alumni Achievement Award in recognition of his talent and recent accomplishments; in addition, Godfrey appeared on America\u2019s Next Top Model as a special guest designer, where he had the honor of dressing the contestants for a red carpet event. In 2012, Godfrey, in collaboration with uniform manufacturer, Cintas, redesigned the uniforms for W Hotels worldwide for both male and female staff. In 2013, Cachet Hotel Group retained Godfrey to collaborate on the rebranding and renovation of URBN Hotel, China\u2019s first carbon-neutral multi award-winning hotel in Shanghai as well as to curate a selection of branded retail products such as robes, mattresses, cosmetics, and decorative items.<\/p>\n<p>Jay Godfrey\u2019s first free-standing boutique opened in April 2012 in New York\u2019s historic Meatpacking District. Godfrey\u2019s collection is also sold in Bergdorf Goodman, Intermix, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, and Holt Renfrew as well as numerous luxury boutiques worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Godfrey resides in New York City with his wife Dara and two little girls, Allegra and Bardot.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York-based designer Jay Godfrey is the founder and creative director behind his eponymous collection of sleek, sexy and sophisticated&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13097,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13096","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
