Williamsburg Ah - Is That Still Slated for April?

High-end American menswear designer and entrepreneur Todd Snyder speaks with Scott Kerr about launching and growing his namesake brand in 2011 after heading up menswear at J. Crew. Todd discusses how designing for the modern American male has changed since his days at Ralph Lauren and J. Crew, finding success in shifting to a direct-to-consumer model early on, and how being acquired by American Eagle Outfitters has been key to the company's growth. Famous for his collaborations with American heritage brands like New Balance, Timex, Clarks, L.L. Bean and others, Todd talks about the cultural capital he brings to these mashups.
