About Kojak Studios

Kojak Studios is a fashion brand based in Egypt that is known for their out-of-the-box approach with fashion that blurs the lines between couture and ready-to-wear. The fashion brand designs unique costume drama pieces such as dresses, suits and many more which are largely inspired by the experiences of Mohanad Kojak, the brand owner.

“My brand is completely based on personal experience, for example, everything that happened has either happened to me or I have thought about it, so I reflect it through a collection or through a photo shoot. If it’s a collection, I go into greater detail in the photo shoot, video or story behind the collection.” – Mohanad Kojak.

This haute couture brand was founded and creative directed by Mohanad Kojak who describes himself as a self-taught designer. The designer catapulted into the limelight when he was selected to take part in a TV show – Project Runway Middle East.

This fashion TV show is one that offers emerging designers a platform to launch their careers, and being the youngest participant with bold designs, he caught the eye of viewers, judges and other fashion experts.

The 25-year old creative designer is also an alumni of the 10th season of Fashion Forward Dubai, a definitive fashion platform for Dubai and the Middle East, which provides a platform and a progressive direction for fashion in the region.

Inspiration

The Egyptian heritage, just like others in Africa, has profound details where creatives can draw inspiration from. Just like Okhtein, the Egyptian accessories brand that draws inspiration from the culture, surroundings and culture in Egypt, Mohanad Kojak mainly gets inspired by human relations and personal experiences.

“Living in a country like Egypt, with its rich culture, generates a lot of inspiration in that regard. There are always issues and topics to discuss that come out of society, topics that might concern or stir up society and this is my source of inspiration. I always keep these issues in mind and put them into consideration, whether to break them or give into them.”

Asides these, the Cairo-based designer is inspired by the work of late British designer, Alexander McQueen. Also, being a fashion designer with daring designs, Mohanad Kojak also takes into consideration the fashion choices of people in the Egyptian and Arab societies, where many women choose to wear modest fashion pieces.

“My designs don’t focus on always showing much skin, that’s not why they’re considered bold or daring- it’s the cuts, silhouettes, details and concepts.” – Mohanad Kojak

How Kojak Studios Is Giving Back To African Communities

As you may already know, the fashion industry, amongst others was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and many fashion entrepreneurs including Lisa Folawiyo helped in the fight against the deadly virus.

During the heat of the pandemic, Mohanad Kojak partnered with Abbassia Fever Hospital In Egypt to donate 100% of profits of some of their bestsellers to help assist the hospital in buying the medical equipment required to fight the virus safely.
