Only a privileged handful of men today take a good lifestyle as seriously as Peter Nygard does. The owner of the top-selling women’s wear brand, Nygard International, Nygard has set himself in an ideal position to take the fashion world by storm.
The son of Finnish immigrants, Nygard spent much of his life growing up in the chilly Canadian province of Manitoba. The Nygard family first settled in Deloraine, a farming town who currently has a park bearing their name. Soon after, the family moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba’s capital and main city center.
Peter Nygard later decided to cross the border in his pursuit of the good life, taking up his education at the University of North Dakota. He then decided to invest in a sportswear company with the entirety of his life savings, opening the door to reconfiguring it his way. That company would soon become Nygard International.
The new company was what would soon sow the seed for Nygard’s own meteoric rise as a fashion designer. With an entire clothing manufacturing enterprise at his command, Peter Nygard was hell-bent on adding a touch of luxury to the life of every single woman who bought his products.
Today, Nygard International delivers a broad range of luxury products, from elegant knitwear to sumptuous designer bedding and duvets. What’s more, virtually every one of Nygard International’s products has been conceived firsthand by the owner himself, if not marked with his seal of approval. Nygard remains committed to the ongoing evolution of his fashion house, marrying his work ethic to a whole slew of approaches to effective business management. Nygard International has emerged as one of the leading brands not only in Canada but also in the United States.
The runaway success of his clothing brand has allowed Peter Nygard to skyrocket among the ranks of the fashion elite. An avid sports buff, Nygard has donated to charities for advancing the cause of developing Bahamian athletes. He also owns a fleet of private jet liners and a private island in the Bahamas, the luxurious Nygard Cay. There, he had helped design what could only be described as a true tropical paradise, complete with authentic Bahamian details.
