Biography
Joseph Picone was a tailor specializing in men's trousers until a woman's skirt crossed the threshold of his small shop. A client's son, Charles Evans, brought Picone a skirt, looking for someone who could create a sample. The two formed a company, Evan-Picone, which produced thousands of skirts and women's slacks.
