Chazz Palminteri Instagram – I gave him the Medal of Honor in Menswear 🏅
We have the one and only @josephabboud Joseph is an American menswear fashion designer and author. I would put him on the top of the list right next to @ralphlauren, @versace, @tommyhilfiger and any other mens fashion designer.
The National Arts Club has been awarding its Medal of Honor to some of fashion’s biggest names since 2003, starting with Geoffrey Beene and including Carolina Herrera, Betsey Johnson, Norma Kamali and Anna Sui. But it has never honored a menswear designer.
That will change Friday night when Joseph Abboud is singled out for his illustrious career in the men’s industry.
Abboud joined Ralph Lauren in 1981, eventually becoming associate director of menswear design. He launched his own label in spring 1987. In 1988, JA Apparel was created as a joint venture between Abboud and GFT (Gruppo Finanziario Tessile) USA. | Posted on 25/Mar/2024 21:08:24
