Duncan’s design career started the moment he could grip a crayon without eating it.

From scribbling on walls to sketching for the runways, he’s always had a knack for promoting his art, with style and strategy. After graduating from Otis/Parsons in 1994 - where he snagged the prestigious Silver Thimble (yes, that’s a real thing, not a Monopoly piece)—he launched into the big leagues. He’s worked with several Fortune 500 companies, but his longest runway walk was with Ralph Lauren, where spent 15 years stitching his mark into the brand’s legacy, one knit at a time. Rising to Sr. Design Director of knits he picked up the Most Creative and Presidential Awards for launching diffusion brands that brought designer flair to the masses—making affordable fashion feel like a luxury sport.
