GRAI

Founded in 2006, Grai was born from the concept of

creating the quintessential leather coat and jacket.

Designer Maya Yogev conceptualizes her designs by

melding light and soft textured fabrics alongside heavier and

more substantial materials. With a strong influence in

natural history, Maya designs organically by draping on

the body, while forming seams and contours in the forms

of insects, shells, feathers and bones. As a result, her

designs work around the body, like a sculpture.

Grai is an extension of who Maya is, encompassing

all of her interests from the Victorian Era and Russian

ballet to punk rock and gothic esthetics. Her designs

cater to women of all ages that share an eye for

sophisticated individuality.

Maya earned her degree in Fashion from Otis

College of Art & Design in 2002. Immediately following

graduation, she spent two years working in Paris for her

mentor, designer Rick Owens. Upon moving back to

Los Angeles she worked on various collaborations with

designer Dr. Romanelli. Most notably, the “Black

Sabbath Resurrection” collaboration gave her the once

in a life opportunity to design a line for the legendary

band Black Sabbath. Maya currently lives and works in

her hometown of Los Angeles with her devil cat Kiki.
