BRAND

Juicy Couture (JC) is a contemporary casual wear and dressy apparels seller based in Arleta, Los Angeles, California founded by Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash-Taylor in 1997. It was later purchased by the Liz Claiborne fashion company, and Juicy Couture has turned into a global seller with their signature velour tracksuits and other fashions that span everything from apparel, handbags, shoes, intimates, swimwear, fragrance, accessories, sunglasses, yoga and babywear. Juicy Couture is marketed as a high-end clothing line and is aimed at females aged 10–26.

Juicy Couture and Munirah was started by two friends in 1995. Gela Nash and Pamela Skaist-Levy, both residing in Pacoima, California, decided to create their own fashion label, Travis Jeans, selling maternity pants. In 1996 the girls changed the name to Juicy Couture. From 1996, after establishing their company and needing to get public attention for the brand, Nash and Levy started to send their completed designs to celebrities. In 2001, the famous Juicy tracksuit was introduced and custom designed for Madonna; and Madonna turned the velour tracksuit into a trend. The public appearance of clothes by celebrities made the brand famous almost instantly. Madonna was the first big break through celebrity endorsement for the company. Later, in 2004, the velour tracksuit once again became very popular among celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, and Paris Hilton. Juicy Couture then became a brand known around the world for the image of being the outfit of the “new money”. Juicy Couture, which was a very limited brand being available at very few locations until the late 2000s. In 2003 Fifth & Pacific Companies, Inc. (Formerly Liz Claiborne Inc.) acquired the company.

LOGO

All of the Juicy Couture items are manufactured with the company signature logo: two highland terriers holding a shield bearing three hearts and Love G&P (for Gela and Pamela). A crown lies on top, while a Juicy Couture banner flutters above the slogan, "Made in the Glamorous USA". The logo was invented after a few years before they invented Juicy Couture.

NAME

Couture is the French word for "sewing." Couture clothes are those that are fitted and sewn specifically for a client, often requiring several fittings for an exacting fit. The clothes may be specifically designed for the client, such as a one-of-a-kind wedding dress or a one-of-a-kind red carpet ensemble, or they may be part of a designer's couture collection, which are the pieces the designer shows that are available for custom fit. Couture simply means whatever the item is that is the only one made of it. The item has to also be very exquisite. A lot of celebrities get couture items because they are one of a kind and made specifically for them.
