Tomio Taki

 

Honorary Degree Ceremony, Interview and Networking Reception

 

Friday, April 29, 2011
2-4 p.m.
Philadelphia University
Kanbar Performance Space
  
Tomio Taki has had a storied career in the international apparel business, taking over his family's more than 250-year-old company, Takihyo Co. Ltd., at the age of 26 and guiding it during 50 years of unprecedented growth. In 1974, he became a partner in the revered apparel firm Anne Klein & Co. Less than six months later, designer and founder Anne Klein died suddenly, and Taki appointed Donna Karan as chief designer of the company. A decade later, he would convince Karan to start her own company. The rest is fashion history.

The event free and open to the public. To attend, RSVP to specialevents@PhilaU.edu by Tuesday, April 26.
