RANDOLPH DUKE

Duke's design background began in swimwear on the west coast. Following stints at Jantzen and Anne Cole, he came east and developed a sportswear line under his own name from 1987 to 1992, and again in 1993 to 1995. In the late 1990s, he did a line, Style System by Randolph Duke, for TV retailer QVC.

He returned to swimwear at Gottex and more recently became a design consultant at Henri Bendel. In the late 1990's he resurrected the house of Halston in New York. He also has a line of clothing for HSN and he is currently designing and showing under his name, Randolph Duke.
