Worldwide Who's Who Names Stephen Stern Entrepreneur of the Year in Fashion Design

    WESTON, FL, May 30, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Stephen Stern, Owner of www.theflagshirt.com, has been named a Worldwide Who's Who Entrepreneur of the Year in Fashion Design. While inclusion in Worldwide Who's Who is an honor, only a small selection of members in each discipline are chosen for this distinction. These special honorees are distinguished based on their professional accomplishments, academic achievements, leadership abilities, years of service, and the credentials they have provided in association with their Worldwide Who's Who membership.

As the owner of www.theflagshirt.com a division of Lord Daniel Sportswear, Mr. Stern conducts sales, designs apparel, and oversees all aspects of managing the company. Mr. Stern has proven himself willing to go to extreme lengths to acquire beneficial accounts. On one occasion, he stood outside the buying office for JCP Media L.P. for five days straight until a buyer agreed to have a meeting with him. The buyer took him out to lunch, saying 'Anyone stupid enough to stand outside our office for five days deserves lunch.' Now the JCPenney account generates $14 million a year. Mr. Stern's company supplies JCPenney with banded bottom shirts. He attributes his success to his father's advice on never giving up. He became involved in his profession when his family moved in 1954, and followed his father's footsteps in retail.

Mr. Stern received a Bachelor of Arts in business and finance from the University of Miami in 1963. He was the secretary of the Florida Chapter of the United States Tennis Association for 8 years. In 2000, he received JCPenney's Vendor of the Year Award, and he went on to receive Sigma Alpha Mu's Alumni of the Year award in 2010. In years to come, he intends to retire.
