Marty Staff, President & CEO JA Apparel Corp. & JCPenney will mark the launch of JOE Joseph Abboud, the new designer menswear collection of business casual attire including shirts, sweaters, ties, outerwear, as well as tailored clothing, available exclusively at JCPenney, at the JOE Joseph Abboud NBA Block Party celebration.
