Before even entering high school, Everett Hall had
designed and constructed more than 300 garments. At Howard University,
he became president of the school's Fashion and Textile Association
and was a finalist for the Cutty Sark Award, which recognizes
the nation's best student designer. When he launched his own
fashion company in 1982, Hall started out small, but his well-tailored
suits-made of the finest materials, such as Biella Italian wool
- quickly garnered accolades. After teaming up with quality
manufacturer Lubian 1911, he began to expand beyond his internationally
distributed Made in Italy white label, opening his own Everett
Hall Designs black-label boutiques in the Washington, D.C. area,
the first in 1994, another in 1999. Hall's sharp suits have
graced the backs of Stephen Baldwin, Antonio Sabato, Jr., Paul
Sorvino, Nelson Mandela, Sugar Ray Leonard, Patrick Ewing, and
Maury Povich -- not surprising considering his shop was voted
one of GQ's favorite shopping spots for celebrities.
