In 1972, he moved to Canada where he first designed for a sportswear manufacturer in Toronto. In 1976, he opened his own shop called Moon.
In 1979, he joined forces with Joseph and Saul Mimran and in the following year formed the Monaco Group Inc. which developed the Alfred Sung label and manufactured it in their own unionized shop.
