Ronald and Rony Delice are twin brothers and menswear designers. A dynamic duo of a reputable men's fashion label called: Ron-n-Ron. Growing up they lived in a household where there mother was a seamstress and their dad, a tailor in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
The Delice brothers completed their academic studies at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Soon after graduating, they headed for Italy and France; Rony to the Via Condotti in Rome and Ronald to the Faubourg Saint-Honore in Paris.Their keen eye for detail and favorable likes for quality were developed by merging the skills they gained, while apprenticing within Europe.
The twin brothers started off as salesclerks to becoming custom tailors for a distinguished men's boutique, Beau Brummel in Soho, formerly owned by Avaram Goldman. Ronald and Rony's custom made suits were in such high demand that Goldman approached them with an offer to finance a signature line for the store.Then in 1998, the twins launched their private line, Ron-n-Ron. Since then it has become a major force in the men's fashion industry.
With a specialty in fine tailored suits, Rony and Ronald gained recognition for their bold, modern style and exquisite taste in fashion menswear. They are widely known for incorporating brilliant colors influenced by their cultural background and remarkable details. These details include the combination of red-stitched button holes, contrast piping, top stitching and enhanced peak lapels on slender silhouettes cut from imported Italian cloth.
