History

James Mischka began at Rice University as a biomedical engineering major and ultimately graduated with degrees in art history and managerial studies in 1985. Badgley and Mischka met at Parsons School of Design in Manhattan. The two launched the label Badgley Mischka in 1988, though their bridal business launched in 1996.[2] In 1992, Badgley Mischka was acquired by Escada.[3] In 2004, Escada sold Badgley Mischka to Candie's (later renamed Iconix Brand Group).[4]

In September 2006, Badgley Mischka announced that Sharon Stone would replace Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen as the brand's spokesperson.[5]

In 2017, Iconix sold Badgley Mischka to Mark Badgley, James Mischka, and Titan Industries.[6]

In July 2020, Badgley Mischka has improved its search conversion rate for e-commerce by 85% since it announced its alliance with Searchspring.[7]
