Early life
Born July 19, 1972, Herman was raised by his mother, Judy Herman. He is of Hungarian descent and identifies himself both as American and Hungarian. His father, Shelly, now deceased, was friend and partner to Sam Brody, legal council to Jack Rubinstein aka Jack Ruby, who at the time was prosecuted for shooting Lee Harvey Oswald, the man that assassinated John F. Kennedy. Both Herman and Brody lived together with actress Jayne Mansfield up until the fatal accident claiming both Mansfield and Brody’s lives. His sister, Lori Herman, was diagnosed with stage four Hodgkins lymphoma. Lori, in a chance meeting with Erin Brokovich, later came to spearhead a lawsuit against the city of Beverly Hills and Venoco. This gained international attention as news outlets from around the world picked up the story and was later documented in the book Parts per Million.
Career
In 1996, Herman, virtually homeless and with no money, left Los Angeles and headed to New York to pursue a career in fashion, specifically handbag design. His first collection was conceived while living on a friend's floor in Greenwich Village. The brand formally debuted in 1996 with the help of then friend and muse Rachel Rosenzweig aka Rachel Zoe and Jane Pratt, founder Jane Magazine -- both of whom helped shepherd the collections throughout the New York fashion scene, introducing Herman to both buyers and editors at W Magazine, Cosmopolitan, and Vogue. Herman became a global brand creating exclusive handbag collections for Barneys New York, House of Fraser, Scoop, Henri Bendel, Harvey Nichols, and Neiman Marcus. In 2000, Herman collaborated with Girlshop.com, the first truly dedicated online fashion forward portal. He credits his celebrity clients like Sharon Stone, Courtney Cox, Alyssa Milano, and Brittany Murphy for helping launch his collections.
Now operated by MGC collective, the Greg Herman brand is focused on curating collections and setting up strategic creative partnerships in the fields of home, hospitality, jewelry, apparel, and fine art.
