Ben Malka is the current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of HALSTON, the American legacy fashion brand devoted to the label’s luxury heritage and its iconic founder’s ideals of simplicity, sophistication and modernism.

Malka moved to New York in the early 1980’s where he became president of a well-known footwear company by the age of twenty-four. He then moved to Los Angeles where he became President of BCBG Max Azria Group and served in the position 11 years. During his tenure, Malka played a key role in developing the multi-million dollar business into the multi-billion dollar global empire it became.

As of 2012, Malka is focused on bringing new energy to America’s first true fashion house, evolving the HALSTON legacy through the HALSTON HERITAGE collection. Under his vision, HALSTON HERITAGE has become an approachable luxury lifestyle brand that mixes legacy codes with a modern edge to create an effortless women’s collection of ready-to-wear, dresses, handbags, footwear and small leather goods. Malka is actively working with his new team of innovators from around the world to bring the brand back into the global marketplace through building a strong retail footprint, expanding its wholesale presence, growing international distribution, and establishing brand extensions across various product categories.
