He moved to the States in 1971, and although he had no formal training in fashion, Spano said he had always been fascinated by ’30s American movies and dreamed of dressing like his heroes Humphrey Bogart, Gary Cooper, Douglas Fairbanks and others of that era. That led him to Roy Rogers — “I dressed like a cowboy for two years and learned to say, ‘Happy Trails,’ ” he said in a 2009 WWD interview — but after he saw an ad in the New York Times fromto supervise that store’s tailoring shop. He eventually created his own label for Bergdorf’s until moving on toin 2002, where he where he was honored with the store’s inaugural Men’s Wear Icon award in 2009.
Aside from fashion, Spano’s other interests included reading of classic authors such as Victor Hugo, Dumas and Dickens; cooking, gardening, listening to classical music, long walks and long bicycle rides “without a helmet.” He was also a regular in the New York Times’ style section thanks to street photographer Bill Cunningham who often shot him walking down Fifth Avenue in one of his signature suits.
