Bernie And Sid

Joseph Abboud, legendary menswear fashion designer, joins Sid to discuss the death of Giorgio Armani. Abboud reflects on Armani’s unmatched influence in fashion, his humility, and the lasting impact of his work. He and Sid Rosenberg discuss men’s fashion, the decline in dressing well since COVID, and the importance of tailoring and personal style. Abboud notes that younger generations, like Sid’s son, can help revive appreciation for fashion. The discussion turns to New York City’s challenges—crime, retail decline, and the mayoral race—with Abboud strongly supporting Curtis Sliwa as someone who understands and will fight for the city’s fashion and retail industries. He emphasizes his deep ties to New York, refusing to leave despite its struggles, and ends with reflections on stereotypes, creativity, and friendship with Sid. Learn more about your ad choices.
