Evan-Picone was formed in 1949 as a partnership between Charles Evans and Joseph Picone. Their first product was a fly-front skirt designed by Evans and produced at Picone's shop. Their skirts were a success, and they added ladies pants as well. By the 1960s they were a major manufacturer of sportswear.
In 1962, the company was sold to Revlon, but Picone bought the business back 4 years later. In the 1980s, Evan-Picone's focus changed from sportswear to clothing for the career woman, and the company was acquired by the Jones Apparel Group.
