Some of the world’s greatest fashion designers have great stories to tell.
Ralph Lauren got his start selling gloves and in the late 1960s turned a $50,000 loan to make ties into the empire Polo is today.
Hip-hop designer Daymond John started FUBU out of the basement of his house in Queens, N.Y., after he came up with the idea of making tie-top hats to earn money.
Maybe one day people will shake their head in amazement at the thought of Jason Chappell starting a fashion line during his spare time as a college basketball player.
