The Glitter Plan

How We Started Juicy Couture for $200 and Turned It into a Global Brand

More about the book

Part memoir and part business manual, this engaging narrative offers an inside look at the rise of one of the most iconic brands of our time. Friends Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash-Taylor bonded over their quest for the perfect T-shirt while working at a Los Angeles boutique. Fueled by their vision, they launched their venture from Gela’s one-bedroom apartment with just $200 and a commitment to obsession in their work. This project evolved into Juicy Couture, which they ultimately sold to Liz Claiborne for $50 million, revolutionizing casual clothing and defining California cool. Pam and Gela built their empire from scratch, using themselves as models and promoting their merchandise by personally distributing samples in stores. They combined careful growth with innovative marketing strategies, such as sending Madonna a custom tracksuit. Their unique business approach, dubbed the Glitter Plan, was pivotal to their success. The duo shares insights on finding the right colleagues and trusting instincts during transitions, alongside humorous anecdotes from their journey, including a memorable incident involving stolen maternity shortalls that prompted a shift in focus. With a bright and cheery tone that reflects Juicy's style, this narrative inspires aspiring designers, fans, and business enthusiasts to turn passion into success.
