Designer Jeffrey Banks spent years co-authoring seven books on fashion before finally deciding it was time to share his own story.<\/p>\n

The menswear designer recounts more than 50 years in fashion, from working for Ralph Lauren to launching his own label, in his new memoir, Storyteller: Tales from a Fashion Insider<\/em>.<\/p>\n

At 72, Banks is having a breakout year. One of his designs was selected by the Metropolitan Museum of Art<\/span> for its \u201cSuperfine: Tailoring Black Style\u201d exhibit, and he is relaunching his eponymous menswear label.<\/div>\n

Banks debuted his label of polished tailoring and American sportswear in 1976 at the age of 21. His menswear played with colour and texture: think tartan plaid jackets, pinstriped suits and furs. At a time when there were few black designers, his clothes were being sold in major department stores and he was landing multimillion-dollar deals.<\/p>\n
