Todd Snyder

Todd Snyder is a menswear designer and the founder of his eponymous brand, Todd Snyder, based in New York City. Known for his luxurious yet accessible designs, Snyder has made significant contributions to contemporary American fashion since launching his label in 2011.

Snyder’s journey into fashion began at Iowa State University, where he studied apparel design. His early career included stints at major brands such as Ralph Lauren, Gap, and J.Crew, where he honed his skills and developed the codes that would later define his brand. Snyder’s designs are characterised by their combination of classic American tailoring with modern, playful twists. This innovative approach has led to successful collaborations with brands like Champion, New Balance, and Timex, showcasing his ability to blend heritage with contemporary fashion.

Snyder has been nominated five times for the CFDA Menswear Designer of the Year and was a 2013 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalist. His collections are celebrated for their craftsmanship and versatility, often drawing inspiration from diverse sources such as art, music, and iconic design elements. For instance, his Fall 2024 collection was inspired by minimalist artists and designers, reflecting his ability to integrate artistic concepts into wearable fashion.

In 2015, his business was acquired by fashion giant American Eagle. The Wall Street Journal reported that revenues topped $100 million in 2023 and could reach $500 million in the next three to four years, according to Jay Schottenstein, CEO of American Eagle.

Snyder’s flagship store in New York City serves as a comprehensive destination for men’s style, offering everything from bespoke tailoring to curated lifestyle products. The store’s design and the additional services, like a hair studio and a bar, are intended to create an immersive shopping experience.
