Zachary Leon Solomon, an influential name in fashion and retail, died at age 91 from natural causes. Born in the Bronx, his rise symbolized the American Dream, transitioning from humble beginnings to high-profile roles with brands like Perry Ellis and Ellen Tracy. Solomon was known for his larger-than-life personality and enthusiasm for work, often expressing his excitement with the phrase "Not good, not great...Fantastic." His passion extended beyond fashion to family, friends, and sports, leaving a lasting impression on those around him.
Zach was a storyteller at heart, who could speak about a garment, a fashion trend, or a positive sales report with unbridled enthusiasm and a Proustian attention to detail.
Zach's personality was as big as he was. He loved life, football, friends and family to the fullest.
Having never eaten in a restaurant until he was 17, he spent the rest of his life making up for lost time.
Not good, not great...Fantastic was his irresistible, signature expression to describe the things he loved in life.
