Egyptian designer Mohanad Kojak follows an educational approach where he sees beauty and art in all that surrounds him. For the young, self-taught designer, fashion is how he interprets the world around him. His pieces are a means of self-expression both for him and for the person wearing them.
Kojak started his journey at a young age, where he used to create clothing pieces for dolls. Years later, he makes statement haute couture and ready-to-wear pieces for his modern-day ‘Kojak dolls.’
At the age of 14, he started designing and experimenting with fabrics and accessories, but it was nothing professional until his first semester at university. It all started when he was filming a fashion film for a university project and decided to design and create all the outfits in the film himself.
In 2016, Kojak participated in the first season of Project Runway Middle East, which was a turning point in setting his brand identity and aesthetic.
