Skin.Graft

SKINGRAFT is an emerging LA-based design house exploring the balance between raw underground fashion and sleek, high-end couture. Founded in 2005, SKINGRAFT triumphs an eccentric look that is exclusively it’s own by fusing alternative techniques and materials with a tasteful vision of classic imagery and modern style.

SKINGRAFT is Jonny Cota, Cassidy Haley and Katie Kay. Together the three have been making waves through the underground fashion world of Los Angeles with their indulgence in distressed leathers and furs, painted and antiqued canvases, and masochistic metal detailing and corsetry. From elongated Victorian necks and ruched sleeves to punk-inspired metal work and hand-tarnished bucklings, SKINGRAFT has created an entire world within they’re designs that is timeless yet excitingly inventive.

The designers spent their years before SKINGRAFT traveling around the world as circus performers and costumers. Their interest in costuming evolved into a desire to design avant-garde fashion inspired by the eccentricities surrounding them. SKINGRAFT was soon born as a design house of strictly custom garments. In 2007 the three embarked on designing their first ready-to-wear collection. Following the success of the initial collection, SKINGRAFT has continued to design and produce fresh collections each year, which have garnered a celebrity following and accolades from the press.

In March of 2009 SKINGRAFT debuted at LA Fashion Week and shortly thereafter opened their eponymous store in Downtown Los Angeles. Their current collection features items for both men and women and everyone in between.
