marcjoseph biography
For twenty years, marcjoseph
has been collecting exceptional vintage clothing from the past decades, with an emphasis
on classic lines and designs made to flatter. Marc studied architecture at California
State Polytechnic University in Pomona, California. While attending college, he became
aware of good design by working for major stores such as Bullock’s Wilshire,
Macy’s, and Brooks Brothers. During the 1990’s, he started with his father a
furniture manufacturing company, using his design awareness to create handcrafted pieces
which still are sold today in stores throughout the United States. His appreciation for
fine aesthetics is evident in the interior design he has done for homes throughout Chicago
and Milwaukee. Marc’s own vacation home in Wisconsin, designed by a student of Frank
Lloyd Wright, was published in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Marc believes exceptional
design can be found in architecture, furnishings, and clothing.
