According to their website "Luck would always play a role in Mr. Aigner’s life; it’s no coincidence that his iconic logo was styled to resemble a horseshoe a universal symbol for good luck. Living in German-occupied Paris he was forced to flee to the countryside where he became a member of the French Resistance. When it was safe to return he had the good fortune of working in the ateliers of famed couturiers Christian Dior and Jacques Fath. In 1950 he emigrated to America and soon started his own company which became known for the quality of its goods."
