ABOUT JEFF HAMILTON
Born in Morocco in 1956, Hamilton moved to Paris in 1967. As a young man, he studied math and physics before entering the fashion world. Shortly after relocating to the U.S. in 1980, he became a Guess Jeans licensee and launched the denim brand’s first line of menswear. By 1985, the annual sales of Hamilton’s division reportedly had reached $30 million. In the mid-’80s, the relationship between Hamilton and Guess ended and at that point, the designer already had been creating “crazy” jackets for himself. He eventually started making elaborate pieces for celebrities like Michael Jackson, Mike Tyson, and George Michael. On the advice of friends, he sought to increase business by acquiring licenses from the NFL and the NBA. His first NBA client was Reggie Theus. Then came Magic Johnson, who introduced him to Jordan. When a panel selected the 50 greatest players in NBA history during the 1996-97 season, the league commissioned Hamilton to make jackets for each honoree to wear at an All-Star game ceremony. And every year in June, Hamilton attended the NBA Finals, after which he’d slip back into the winning locker room to deliver jackets. In recent years, the cultural phenomenon of Hamilton’s jackets have made a strong comeback and can be seen on celebrities from sports to music and everything in between.
