ICER is a family-owned business started by Lawrence Jemal and now led by Norman Jemal President & Daron Jacob Chief Creative Officer.ICER has evolved into a global leader in apparel and accessories sourcing, design, manufacturing, and multi-tier distribution. Our current licensing partnerships include the NBA & NFL, and our retail partnerships include such brands as Amazon, Aeropostale, Urban Outfitters, Fashion Nova, and Forever 21. Today, we service 5,000 retail locations worldwide and employ hundreds globally, including 100+ people at our New York City office.I was hand-picked by Norman & ICER to share my expertise in process, design, production, and building long-term business relationships. Because our operations start at the yarn level, I was charged with building a team of graphic & fashion designers along with supporting production managers to help identify trends, factories, negotiate pricing, fine tune time & action calendars to ultimately delivering final products to our end consumers.As Chief Creative Officer, I oversee and collaborate with all of our designers to drive new concepts that enable us and our partners to thrive in the fashion industry’s rapidly evolving landscape. I also manage all aspects of manufacturing and production. Beyond identifying what’s “in,” I’m able to communicate the importance of accessibility, marketability, and monetization in a way that a wide range of people can understand.Traveling to abroad several times a year, I’ve built solid manufacturing partnerships that position us as a turnkey solution. I oversee all production and work closely with our manufacturing partners on fabric development, new applications, and quality control. Our vertical supply chain, from raw material procurement to final production, is under 90 days in most cases because we maintain total capacity control of our factories.🔗 https://www.icerbrands.com/

K.C. New York was a men and children’s apparel company whose leading-edge clothing was distributed to such major retailers as Marshalls, TJX, Tilly's and Urban OutfittersK.C. New York is where I advanced my lifetime interest in fashion, and art from working at a clothing store in a mall to a chance encounter that brought me into daily, real-time operations of the fashion industry. I met K.C. owner Harry Wasserstein in 2000 and began working & learning from him that day. Throughout my 11-year tenure at K.C., I progressed through the ranks to becoming the company’s Creative Director and Junior Partner.Harry was very generous with his time, guidance, and mentoring skills, and I was a sponge. In my early 20s, I traveled to Korea, China, Tokyo, and other hubs around the world to coordinate our growing factory activities and serve as lead liaison for all of our Asian manufacturing partners. I was honored when Harry entrusted me to start and build our London office from the ground up. To this day, I aspire to help others as Harry helped me.
