After an apprenticeship with Coco Chanel, in Paris, he came to the USA at the age of 17 with only $12 in his pocket! He dreamt of having his own business and could only find a job as a sewing machine operator (no one would believe that he was a full fashion designer at 17). He started his fashion contracting business with $1500 and expanded it to his own brand "Roger Kuper" which became a multi-million dollar business selling to the most prestigious stores, coast to coast in the USA and all over the world.
