Domenico "Mimmo" Spano (August 17, 1944 – October 23, 2023) was an Italian-born American clothier known for his work in men's fashion.
He moved to the United States after marrying Rina Gangemi, an American studying in Florence, in 1972.
[2][3] Spano began his career in the fashion industry as a bookkeeper in his father-in-law's custom clothing business in Midtown Manhattan before advancing to roles at other retailers such as Dunhill and Alan Flusser, and later at luxury department stores Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue.
[4] Known for his adherence to classic American style, Spano drew inspiration from the elegant aesthetics of early Hollywood public figures such as Fred Astaire and Cary Grant.
Despite prevailing trends towards more casual attire, he maintained a traditional approach in his designs.
