If the fashion industry were an ocean and fashion designers the fish, then Joseph Abboud would be the great white shark when it comes to designing high-end menswear in the American fashion industry. Hailing from Boston, Massachusetts, Abboud was born on 5th May 1950 to a middle-class family. Menswear tailoring is deeply rooted in his genes considering that one of his ancestors once owned the largest men’s tailored clothing company and his mother, Lila, was a seamstress. Joseph Abboud studied at the University of Massachusetts-Boston in 1972 and left for Paris to study at the Sorbonne. Joseph was only sixteen when he first experienced what the fashion industry was like when he started working for Louis Boston. It was in 1981 that Abboud started working at Ralph Lauren and worked there for a couple of years till he was made the associate director of menswear design which was Abboud’s first major achievement. Luck was on Abboud’s side and soon he launched his own menswear label by the name of JA Apparel which later collaborated with GFT, USA. Saks and Bergdorf Goodman started selling his clothing line. CLIENTS: Celebrities like American musician, Wynton Marsalis, Tom Brokaw, and Nomar Garciaparra, the former Boston Red Sox shortstop have been great fans of Abboud’s menswear.
