Always one to break with tradition, Josh knew from an early age that a typical office job wasn’t in his future. He started Joshua Gold in 2007, following a summer apprenticeship with a master tailor in Singapore. Josh fell in love with the business – a job that combined his sartorial passion with his predisposition for entrepreneurship didn’t feel like a job at all.

He began as a traveling salesman of sorts, visiting clients in their homes or offices around the Midwest – initially offering only custom-made shirts. Fast forward a decade – Josh runs his custom clothing business with a holistic approach to building a bespoke wardrobe. He still travels throughout the Midwest, but enjoys having a home base in the Royal Oak showroom. “I need to understand each of my client’s lifestyles, preferences, and line of work,” says Josh. “Clothing should move with you, be comfortable above all else, and tell a story about who you are to everyone you meet.”Josh believes that every man’s wardrobe begins with a single, well-crafted garment – similar to the way he began his business by offering a wardrobe staple, a classic shirt. This lays the foundation for every interaction that follows, as a perfectly curated wardrobe is created with precision and care.

Todd joined the Joshua Gold team in Spring of 2018 as a Style Consultant.  From a young age, Todd has been pushing the boundaries of fashion and style and has always had a vision for dressing for an occasion.  Todd spent the early part of his career in custom clothing, where he focused on building relationships with his clients and was known to go above and beyond to make sure fit and customer service were impeccable.  He then moved into the uniform design business, working with some of the hot up and coming Detroit restaurants to outfit the staff and make sure it satisfied their vibe and vision.

Todd believes every wardrobe should have a handful of statement pieces along with staple pieces to mix and match.  He is known to wear custom blazers, vests, and shoes with a pair of plaid slacks or denim – "there are no rules as long as you feel confident."

Andrew has always had a hard time fitting into clothes off the rack. Suits were baggy, and sleeve length was never long enough. Always trying to make something work, Andrew’s wife gifted him cufflinks but finding a French cuffed shirt that fit seemed impossible. The next gift was a made-to-fit French cuffed shirt from Joshua Gold Custom Clothier. That shirt changed his life and opened up a world of endless possibilities of colors, patterns, and style, but above all, comfort.

As his wardrobe grew, so did his love for the craft. Andrew joined the team in late 2021 and hasn't looked back since. “I want everyone to experience the confidence I feel when putting on a suit tailored to fit!” Andrew is dedicated to contributing to a sustainable future through his work and appreciates the longevity and purity of quality fabrics.

My love of fashion came from my aunt Elizabeth when I was a young girl. I was always in amazement at what she wore and how she would put outfits together. Once I got ahold of fashion magazines and catalogs, daydreaming would consume
me.

I grew up in Romania, very close to my grandmother Margaret, who knew how to sew! It was a hobby of hers. I started making clothes for my dolls from scraps of fabric my grandmother would discard. At nine years old, I started creating clothes for my dolls by hand. My grandmother would never let me use the sewing machine because she was worried I would hurt myself.

In college, I was so very fortunate to have a wonderful teacher. She fueled my spirit for life. After 20 years, I’m still using her techniques. Lenuta will always be in my heart, and I think of her often. Creating and tailoring clothes has always been my passion. When I’m not altering clothes for Joshua Gold, I enjoy making clothes for my close friends and family. I truly love my trade and I’m thrilled to be a part of the team.
