In the podcast ‘The Cutting Room Floor’, the American entrepreneur Steve Madden speaks openly about his career, including the ups and downs. He also shares his opinion on trade restrictions and the current situation of fashion retail.
Madden started his career in the fashion world as a shoe designer and quickly made a name for himself in the industry. In 1990 he founded his own company, Steve Madden, Ltd. (Steve Madden), which later went to the stock exchange.
In 2002 Steve Madden was sentenced to prison for financial crimes, including course manipulation, money laundering and insurance fraud. This led to his resignation as CEO of Steve Madden and criminal proceedings. After his release, Madden remained active in the company, especially as a creative director, although his influence was lower than before. He also started other business projects, including an investment in a sports lifestyle company.
Madden is also the subject of the Netflix documentary ‘Maddman: The Steve Madden Story’ (2017), in which his life story is told in detail.
