A native of Alabama, Pearson began his career working under Norman Norell, then designed for the California firm Harou before launching his own, Los Angeles-based label in 1960. At the time, Los Angeles was just coming into its own as a fashion capital. The country's second-largest apparel market was best known for its inexpensive sportswear, but Pearson joined an emerging group of serious designers lured west by the chance to run their own businesses outside the Seventh Avenue establishment, including James Galanos, Rudi Gernreich, and Gustave Tassell.
