Jerome Dahan

Jerome Dahan grew up in Paris and came of age in Montreal, where in the mid ’70s, he designed his first pair of jeans, which featured embroidered back pockets-an innovation in the early days of designer denim. In the early 1980s, he migrated to Los Angeles, helping establish it as a world capital for the design and manufacturing of premium blue jeans. Dahan’s passion for denim as both a material and an industry has led to a string of high-profile design and brand-building positions at Guess and Lucky Jeans. As a founder of Seven For All Mankind, he brought the concept of luxury denim to the U.S. market and built a 21st century global brand. After a quarter of a century working in the industry, Dahan has emerged as a true visionary. “CITIZENS OF HUMANITY is the ultimate expression and realization of what a denim company can be.
