In 1987, while a junior in college, Gordon Scott started with Ralph Lauren at the Georgetown (D.C.) store before it’s opening. From the beginning, Scott assisted the visiting New York team in all aspects of opening a store. This led to a job with Polo’s Creative Services department in NYC the following year. Working as a Visual Merchandiser and Set Builder for Polo stores, showrooms, and advertising shoots created the foundation that would be relied upon throughout his lengthy fashion career.

With Polo being this incredibly vast creative portal, opportunities continued to arise and in 1995, Scott seized an opportunity with the creation of Gman Productions: providing Visuals and other Creative Services to the Fashion trades. Throughout the 90’s and 00’s, this outfit produced for many notables including Alfred Dunhill, Abercrombie & Fitch, Giorgio Armani, Chaiken & Capone, Chaps, Tommy Hilfiger, Nautica, The Gap, Banana Republic, Ray-Ban and more.

In 2003, Gman (a nick name given from playing ball in NYC’s Tompkins Square Park) returned to New England where he spent part of his childhood and opened Ye Olde Schoole Shoppe, a Sportswear boutique in Mystic, Connecticut. In 2007, a second venture into brick and mortar came about when Scott assisted in the building and operating of MUSE, a shoe retailer & art gallery in nearby New London. Furthermore, throughout the years, he maintained a rich connection to Ralph Lauren and worked for the company until 2010.

In 2013, Scott relocated to Wisconsin to be near his daughter, and has worked as an in-house stylist at Shopbop’s Madison studio ever since working multiple disciplines: styling in Off-Figure, On-Figure Men’s, and Editorial and offering Set Design support when called upon.

In summary, the versatility and range of disciplines found in the Gman quiver is what sets him apart and includes him in a select group; from apparel designer to stylist to set designer and art director. Additionally, his graphics, store design and branding have an identifiable style which have garnered praise for their originality.

Last, but certainly not least, Gordon Michael Scott the fine artist has exhibited his work from NYC to San Francisco and has pieces in private collections world wide.
