Fashion Nova Corporate Office

Fashion Nova was founded in 2014 in Vernon, California, by current CEO Richard Saghian. The company runs a chain of eCommerce and stores offering women’s fashion clothing, coats, and shoes. Although very new, the company boasts more than 4 million Instagram followers in less than 1 year. The company is said to conquer the “thirst trap” with their ads on Instagram.

The company currently has a 180,000 square foot warehouse in Los Angeles, California, and 5 locations in the greater Los Angeles area. Unlike many other clothing brands, Fashion Nova sews their own jeans here in the USA. The company is best known for its sexy, Victoria Secret type models.

Fashion Nova clothing is often seen on celebrities such as Nicki Minaj, Amber Rose, and Blac Chyna. Although the company has already had more than 146 complaints on the website, they currently have a B rating with the Better Business Bureau.

The company was hit with a class-action lawsuit for sending unsolicited text messages to clients in late 2018.

In November 2019, Versace filed a lawsuit against Fashion Nova for copyright and trademark infringement after it appears that Fashion Nova copied the iconic J. Lo green dress called Jungle Print.

In August 2020, fashion company Chrome Hearts sued Fashion Nova for copyright infrigement after allegedly printing its Horseshoe trademark.

Fashion Nova is also being called out in August 2020 for selling “bike” shorts that leave the behind exposed.

Headquarters for Fashion Nova are located in Vernon, California.

Life is Good Corporate Office

Life is Good was founded in 1994 by brothers Bert and John Jacobs in Boston, Massachusetts. The pair started off selling their upbeat message shirts out of their van and at public events, such as parades and county fairs. Business was not doing well, and after inviting some friends to their apartment, a brainstorming session produced the company logo of a smiling face, wearing a beret, and stating that “Life is Good”. The brothers printed up 48 shirts and sold them all in 1 hour at a street fair.

Today, that slogan and face, eventually named Jake, is now a $100 million dollar a year company with more than 4,500 locations and in more than 30 countries. The company offers more than 900 items in 14 categories, including hats, coffee cups, tote bags, key chains, bumper stickers, and children’s clothing.

Life is Good has also expanded to include a smiling female face, Jackie, and a dog named Rocket. The company is known for its charming quotes, such as a picture of Jake and Rocket playing fetch and the tag line “Stick Together” or “Have a Ball”

Headquarters for Life is Good are located in Hudson, New Hampshire.
