It is truly a labor of love for Steven Stolman.
After a break with his business partners forced him to walk away from his eponymous label 20 years ago, the veteran designer returned last year with a women’s collection.
The success of that line and myriad requests prompted him to expand his offering to include a small collection of menswear this summer.
“There was such an overwhelming request for men’s, and it really wasn’t even on my radar screen,” he said. “Menswear is not easy to get right. It requires so much more precision, and I wasn’t sure I was up to taking that on.”
But after dipping his toe back in with a few pieces he made for himself, “the reaction was so positive, I thought, what not give it the old college try.”
