Mark Badgley and James Mischka launched the brand in 1988, sold it to Escada in 1992, which sold it to Candie’s two years later. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olson became the face of the company in the early 2000s.

Badgley and Mischka bought the brand back in 2017. In addition to clothing, handbags, fragrance, swimwear, and jewelry, Badgley Mischka launched a home collection.

Branded real estate developments have grown in popularity, especially in markets like South Florida. Developers can ask for nearly 31 percent more on average than for comparable non-branded properties, according to data from Savills.
