J.Mendel 是来自法国的奢侈品品牌，以皮草设计著称。羊毛花呢、轻柔的绸缎织物也是J.Mendel 品牌常采用的材质，J.Mendel 最爱将不同物料拼凑在一起，玩转价值不菲的皮草。对于掌控皮草的超凡才华，从绝佳的剪裁技巧可窥见一斑，不论绘花、缝褶或剪裁，一律坚持以繁复又费时的手工制造。

　　J.Mendel 现任设计师Gilles Mendel 拥有对皮草的坚持以及绝佳的剪裁技巧，对不用材料的运用，这位生于巴黎如今活跃于纽约的设计师有自己独到的想法，不但将J.Mendel 品牌在运用皮草上进一步发挥还在女装成衣界同样出色。

　　在2003年Gilles Mendel 第一次发布了J.Mendel 成衣系列，随即入选CFDA (The Council of Fashion designers of America awards) 美国时装设计师协会。

　　Gilles Mendel, heir apparent and designer of J. Mendel, has reinvented the concept of fur. In the legacy of this fifth generation family fur house, Gilles Mendel continually challenges accepted notions of the legendary material by demonstrating its unexpected lightness, versatility and fabric-like properties. Moving into the ready to wear arena with the same dexterity, the Paris bred designer has created a full-scale atelier in his New York studio.

　　In 2003, marking the launch of his ready to wear collection, Gilles was inducted into the CFDA. He showed the Fall 2004 collection during Fashion Week in New York, officially introducing the ready to wear on the runway before the international press. The collection demonstrated Mendel's ability to work in materials ranging from silk chiffon to woolen tweeds with the same creativity and emphasis on design that he is known for in fur.
