Early life Kotsiopoulos was born on November 18, 1968, in Skokie, Illinois, where he was raised. He attended Niles West High School. He holds a Bachelor's in Accountancy from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Of his formative years, Kotsiopoulos recalled, "I was always interested in arts but my parents were Greek immigrants and to them it was important to be a doctor, lawyer or businessman. But I got my fashion fix from old movies and looking at archival issues of Vogue at the public library. I also used to secretly go shopping with my older sister because she trusted my opinion. But for the most part I pushed art and fashion aside and went to the University of Illinois and got my bachelor's degree in accountancy. I graduated but never took the CPA exam because I was bored to death. Immediately after college I skipped town and moved to Los Angeles."
