He started his career in Paris as an apprentice to Cristobal Balenciaga and went on to make a name for himself in New York City as a milliner for Bragaard and Bergdorf Goodman, and later, Emme, in the early 1950s. Come 1962, he opened his millinery studio creating custom clothing for style icons including the likes of Gloria Vanderbilt, Babe Paley, and C.Z. Guest. He also made clothes for the Duchess of Windsor, who would introduce him to Betsy Bloomingdale and later to Nancy Reagan, who would become a faithful customer.
