There are three things

that made a career

in fashion inevitable

for Tony Cohen.

First was being born

in Amsterdam and

growing up in the heart

of the city, where the

famous Waterlooplein

Market is found. Second

was his grandmother’s

passion for selling

used clothes at this

market (some of these

vintage pieces are still

in Tony’s archive). And

the third was the fact

that his father worked

in women’s fashion

for 40 years. After

 nishing his studies

and spending a short

time as a professional

sportsman in the US,

he moved to Italy

where he began to make

garment-dyed clothing.

In 2004 he created

the TONYCOHEN

label, which was

soon well received by

international buyers

of the likes of Harvey

Nichols, Villa Moda,

Lisa Kline, and Neiman

Marcus.
