Meet Stan Herman, elder statesman of American fashion

He's the most prolific fashion designer you've never heard of, and while he may not be a household name, Stan Herman has dressed millions of households, and has also designed uniforms for a multitude of companies, from TWA and Avis to McDonald's and FedEx. Correspondent Alina Cho talks with the 95-year-old Herman, who recently recounted his extraordinary career in the memoir, "Uncross Your Legs: A Life in Fashion."

A long distinguished career in fashion, remarkable that he's nearly 96, he looks so good, he gets around independently, still sharp minded, he keeps working, that's why he's doing so well on so many levels, staying busy and enjoying what he's doing, it's just Spectacular!! :-) New Orleans

He's 95-goals! I remember when Stan was the president of the CFDA. I'm sure he has even more stories to tell.

[@ColleenGengler]

I always thought the TWA uniforms were classy, professional and made the crew look so well dressed. Glad to see Stan Herman is getting more recognition!

[@steveconn]

Never heard of Stan, what a diverse life, glad he's getting his due.

[@JillWhitcomb1966]

This is the best kind of fashion design-- clothing for real people doing real jobs!

Marvellous! I'm 51 and just relived my entire life through the lens of this talented man. Here's to you, Stan Herman!

Being Approachable is Stan Herman's Supper Power...
Besides Stans clothing design be approachable for the masses. I noticed when he was talking with the FedEx driver that they both made each other glow with delight. When he was introduced on QVC the people on stage, they too were full of that same delightful reaction.
What I'm suggesting is Stan's soul is so approachable, it's expressed in his designs.

[@mililaniman]

I admire Stan Herman's work ethic and versatility.

[@deettekearns9092]

I love Stan. He's an icon!!! ❤

[@daviddubois7560]

CBS you left out United Airlines!
I was a flight attendant for United from 1984-2006. Stan Herman designed our uniforms till 1989!

[@greeneyedwarlock882]

[@robzphotoz5465]

Fascinating story! Talented designer ❤

[@JacksonvilleTammy]

I wore that Orange Mcdonalds uniform in the late 70's. I never knew I was wearing designer quality. They were very easy to wash and kept looking fresh.

[@reddhottsc1557]

I'm wearing his shorts right now! 💜🧡

[@wezie13]

Stan was big in the 70’s, I worked for Vogue pattern company and they used his best designs! Loved his work!
