From the classic striped McDonald’s blouses of the 1970s to the sharp purple-black contrast of modern FedEx polos, some uniforms are designed to stand out, and for many of these iconic looks, we have Southampton fashion designer Stan Herman to thank.
From his early years helping out in his father’s silk shops, Herman knew wanted to pursue fashion design as his career, and his father supported him. “My father was very encouraging. It was quite unusual for a Jewish father to have a son who wanted to be a fashion designer,” says Herman, who has continued to work in fashion into his 90s.
