Todd Snyder, in a conversation with Fern Mallis, retraced his path from Iowa and lessons learned from Ralph Lauren and Mickey Drexler.
Badowers may be gone but it’s not forgotten — at least not by one of its most famous former employees.cut his teeth in fashion working on the sales floor of the Des Moines, Iowa, haberdashery in his youth and it left a lasting impression.at The 92nd Street Y, the designer recounted how talent, a love for fashion and sheer determination allowed him to create his $100 million menswear brand that operates 15 stores around the U.S.
“When I was younger, I only had one pair of jeans with holes in it,” he said. “I always had this feeling that I never had enough. It kind of stuck with me.” He spent every dollar he made — and more — on clothes, and as a young man, had a closet full of suits. “I probably had eight or 10 suits and that’s quite a few for a 20-year-old kid. But I just love tailoring.”
Eventually Snyder snagged an internship at Polo Ralph Lauren — and he was on his way. Over the years, Snyder worked for John Varvatos at Ralph Lauren — “I stalked him for 10 years until he hired me,” he said — and Mickey Drexler at both Old Navy and J.Crew, all in men’s design. “Mickey was obsessed with making men’s more popular so I worked with our tailors and created this whole new suit from scratch that was more fitted,” he said. “Back then, Thom Browne was hot with the whole shrunken suit thing. And I wanted to create our own version at J.Crew.”He took the plunge at the same time the country fell into a recession. But thanks to this little side hustle he and his brother had created called Tailgate Clothing Co.
