The industrious immigrant felt that this was the time and place to shape his American dream. He began producing iconic pieces for the ivy league just as the university style was catching on. In 1973 Bernard's sons launched "Rugger by Gant" and took the rugby look off the field and into the arms of a generation of reckless youth. Today, Swedish born head designer Christopher Bastin designs with Gant's extensive archives close to heart. His spin on ivy league style produces a very classic, highly accessible American preppy image.
