Joseph Abboud was the first designer to win the Council of Fashion Designers as Menswear Designer of the Year two years in a row, 1989 and 1980. At the time, I lived in Hoboken and was impressed by his very artful and hip designs on the runway during Fashion Week those years, and so was doubly pleased to meet him in person in the early 2000's. He has collected several of my works including a painting inspired by his daughters, "Avalon".
