Men's Wear Designer Got Slow Start
NEW YORK (UPI) Dick Brown rose from poverty at 30 in Detroit to become a leading men’s wear designer. A Navy veteran, he worked varied jobs before entering design, eventually joining Robert Lewis Sportswear and shaping rugged, coordinated spring sportswear with lightweight jackets, matching separates, and practical pockets. He favors broad shoulders, narrow hips, and versatile two‑piece outfits designed to mix and match for day and evening wear.
