History

Frame was founded in 2012 by Swedish entrepreneurs Erik Torstensson and Jens Grede following careers at creative agency, The Saturday Group, in which the founders sold a majority stake to Omnicom in 2015.[6][7][8]

Frame's first product, the “Le Skinny de Jeanne,” was first worn by actors and supermodels including Miranda Kerr, Poppy Delevingne, Lily Aldridge, Kate Bosworth, and Karlie Kloss.[9] The company's first bag, a leather tote called “Les Second,” was modeled by Sienna Miller, Katie Holmes, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Doutzen Kroes.[10]

In 2014 and 2018, Frame founders Erik Torstensson and Jens Grede were named to Business of Fashion's BoF 500 list of people shaping the global fashion industry.[11] According to The Sourcing Journal, Frame earned over $130 million in revenue in 2018.[12] As of 2019 the company owns and operates ten stores in Aspen, Dallas, Greenwich, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and San Francisco.[3][13]
