Paul Stuart

Paul Stuart is a men's and women's clothing store in the United States. Founded in 1938 in New York City, New York, USA, by haberdasher Ralph Ostrove, who named the company after his son Paul Stuart Ostrove. The company was helmed by the legendary merchant and CEO Clifford Grodd from 1958 until his death in 2010. The retailer remained a privately held family business until December 2012, when it was sold to its long-time Japanese partners Mitsui. Paul Stuart is often compared to Brooks Brothers, J. Press, and Ralph Lauren and is known for its traditional suits and colorful accessories. In 2013 Paul Stuart celebrated its 75th Anniversary.
