CAN YOU TELL US HOW YOU BUILT YOUR BUSINESS?
At the age of twenty-two, Kenny was on his hands and knees building his shop From floorboards to ceiling joists, installing lights, painting the walls, and creating the space for a street traffic storefront. When Kenny opened up the shop for business he hired a small staff. He opened his shop with designers such as Landlubber jeans and Frye boots. As Kenny says, “it was the year of hippie”, with trends like high-waisted shorts, pleated pants, acid wash denim, bell bottoms, shoulder pads, Azzura leggings, and men’s silk shirts and suits.
I am now the active store owner, and I met Kenny in 1985 (and later married him) as a buyers assistant, he taught me everything, Kenny has a great eye and sense of fashion. Kenny began his buying process in New York City where he carried designers such as Katharine Hamnett (London designer carried the slogan “stay alive in 1985” year of AIDS), Norma Kamali, and more. With time the store evolved and became more
and more high end, but has always been fashion forward, out of the box, and edgy.
The Great Put On is very fashion forward with the hottest and latest trends and styles worn by actresses and actors or individuals who have a love and passion for the art of clothing. At The Great Put On we create our own look by mixing different designers together, according to Kenny, “we don’t copy anyone, people copy us.” Our company image focuses on high-end luxury European items that follow social trends and styles of celebrities.
