Career
And his eponymous brand Buscemi
After working on Wall Street, Jon began to amass a very broad sneaker collection and soon took his hunt for very exclusive and limited edition sneakers world-wide. Simultaneously, many of his skateboarding peers started their own brands in the street-wear and skate space. Through these industry connections, Buscemi was hired by skateboard footwear brand District of Columbia Shoe Company
United States of America to work on special projects.
After District of Columbia, he left to become the Creative Director of Lotto United States of America, a partnership with the Italian tennis and soccer brand Lotto. Along with a small team of creatives, Buscemi launched Lotto Leggenda in the United States before going on to work as a Brand Director at Oliver Peoples.
In 2006, Buscemi and two partners launched the footwear brand Gourmet. After leaving Gourmet in January 2013, Buscemi launched the eponymous brand Buscemi at Capsule Show in Paris in June 2013.
