Jerome Dreyfuss
Designer. Paris
Jerome Dreyfuss is a design genius, whose career spans almost 15 years in the making. Over that time, he’s won numerous awards, including the “Venus de la Mode” and ANDAM, designed a costume for the King of Pop, Mr. Michael Jackson, opened stores in Paris and New York, tied the knot with a little-known designer by the name of Isabel Marant and recently found time to launch a men’s line, “Monsieur Dreyfuss.” Since launching his namesake line in 1998 during Paris fashion week, Dreyfuss’ accessory line has grown into a cult-favourite brand, which caters to the likes of the uptown/downtown crowd. His handbags are irresistibly good… As is his dot com, where his E-shop turns into a comedic and addicting fun shopping experience. You’ll want to turn your computer’s volume up for this one! Although you can buy J.D.’s bags in his standalone stores, we’d much rather listen to a little French boy exuberantly scream the bag’s name than hear to a sales girl try to sell us her personal fave. However, going to his Paris store is an excuse to pop into his next door neighbour's space, our home-away-from-home: the Isabel Marant retail shop. Each one of Dreyfuss' bag is showcased like a Match.com profile; from it’s name to it’s best qualities (“My +” as they call it) to it’s hobbies, you can really get a sense of each purse’s function and how it fits your lifestyle. And his technicolour collection of handbags has all the bells and whistles. Monsieur Dreyfuss’ eye for detail has certainly found it’s way into his own closet. With a heavy selection of Margiela and CDG, this industry-veteran has acquired an eclectic mix of pieces over the years. His largest stash of closet goods? A massive pile of vintage tees. His oldest and most prized Nike tee is almost older than his son – but don’t think he’s giving it up anytime soon. In fact, he still wears it to all of his important meetings. Like the California-inspired interior of his home, which is filled with pieces from the 60s and 70s, there’s one thing that remains true: Everything gets better with age… including, Monsieur Dreyfuss.
The great thing is that all my clothes are the same, so I don’t really need to be organized.

This sweater was knitted by my cousin. For my house, I always have been inspired by California. It is filled with pieces from the '60s and books about architecture. The lamp is a George Nelson.

Sweater, Handmade by Jerome’s Cousin
This wallet is the Polo from my collection. In my job, I always try to work on a combination of aesthetics and functionality. In that sense, I am very inspired by the French architects from the '30s to the '60s like Jean Prouvé or Charlotte Perriand. I like the idea that these incredible people worked first on the practical side of objects. I also gain inspiration from watching people, understanding how they move or behave. I like to identify people’s needs and try to bring an answer to them.

This is the T-shirt I had when I was a 14-year-old boy scout. Now that my son is also a boy scout, he always wants to go there wearing this—it's a very vintage uniform.

I must confess that I have a lot of Margiela pieces. I like their amazing colors. Those sneakers are pure creativity but at the same time, it feels like I’ve had them all my life. I am a big fan of these photos that my wife brought back from LA. Michael Jackson—so stylish! You also have Bowie, Simon & Garfunkel, Yoko Ono and John Lennon. They have all been taken during the 1977 Grammy Awards. The looks are incredible. Then you have a picture of Richard Avedon with Francis Bacon: pure modernity.

This was my grandfather’s Borsalino hat.
At first, my wife brought [the sweater] back from LA as a present but it was too small for me. She kept it but I liked it so much I got another one for myself. The skateboard is my son’s—also made also in LA.
