About Joseph Abboud

JA Apparel Corp, which owns the Joseph Abboud brand name, was founded in 1987, and the menswear label has since grown into a $150 million worldwide wholesaler, retailer, and licensor of men’s clothing, accessories, and home furnishings.

The Look
Classically tailored double-breasted suits, luxury sports separates, and organic colors.

The Designer(s)
Lebanese Abboud was the first designer to win the CFDA award as Best Menswear Designer two years in a row. He sold the company in spring 2005 and left to pursue other interests after creative differences with Chief Executive Marty Staff, a larger-than-life apparel executive who previously worked for Hugo Boss. The two met while working together at Polo Ralph Lauren.

Who Wears It
Pro sports players who like to look sharp, like Johnny Damon, Stefan Marbury, and New York Giants’ Jeremy Shockey.
