History

The company was co-founded in 1994 by Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash as Travis Jeans Inc., a line of maternity jeans named for Nash's son.

The brand was originally popular on the West Coast of the United States, when their fashion lines focused on comfortable women's sweat suits and sportswear.

Nash became Gela Nash-Taylor in March, 1999 when she married bassist John Taylor of Duran Duran. Taylor and Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon performed at a party launching the line's East Coast debut in New York City in November, 1999.

Juicy Couture added collections for men and children in 2002, and bathing suits and accessories for women, including shoes, handbags and jewelry (including very popular charm bracelets) were added to Juicy's line in 2004.

In 2003 Travis Jeans Inc, which owned all of Juicy assets, was purchased by Liz Claiborne Inc. for US$53 million, plus a percentage of future earnings. Skaist-Levy and Nash-Taylor remained co-presidents of the company, and remain the creative minds behind Juicy Couture.

A flagship store was opened in Las Vegas in October 2004. Five more stores were planned as of 2005 in Boston, Manhattan, Santa Barbara, San Francisco, and Scottsdale.

In 2005, Juicy licensed their name to T-Mobile for a designer version of their Sidekick II smartphone, and to Movado for a line of Juicy watches.

All-Clad's products helped inspire interest in high end consumer cookware in the United States in spite of the relatively high cost of its products. A flagship store was opened in Las Vegas in October 2004. All-Clad is also the only American company to manufacture a complete line of cookware products from raw materials in its own rolling mill in Canonsburg Pennsylvania. Skaist-Levy and Nash-Taylor remained co-presidents of the company, and remain the creative minds behind Juicy Couture. These include their LTD, Stainless, Cop-R-Chef, Copper-Core, MC2, and Non-stick cookware collections.

for US$53 million, plus a percentage of future earnings. All-Clad produces several unique series of cookware, to meet different cookings needs and preferences. In 2003 Travis Jeans Inc, which owned all of Juicy assets, was purchased by Liz Claiborne Inc. Additionally, handles are attached with stainless steel rivets. Juicy Couture added collections for men and children in 2002, and bathing suits and accessories for women, including shoes, handbags and jewelry (including very popular charm bracelets) were added to Juicy's line in 2004. The aluminum core retains heat and evenly distributes it along the bottom and up the sidewalls of the cookware, and runs all the way up to the lip of the utensil. Taylor and Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon performed at a party launching the line's East Coast debut in New York City in November, 1999. The popular All-Clad Stainless series of cookware sandwiches a thick core of three separate layers of aluminum between an easy-to-clean, highly polished 18/10 stainless steel cooking surface and a magnetic stainless steel exterior.

Nash became Gela Nash-Taylor in March, 1999 when she married bassist John Taylor of Duran Duran. This patented “roll-bonding” process is the basis for most of All-Clad's products, and allows cookware produced in this way to distribute heat evenly and efficiently. The brand was originally popular on the West Coast of the United States, when their fashion lines focused on comfortable women's sweat suits and sportswear. All-Clad was established in 1973 after founder John Ulam discovered a unique process that uses a combination of heat and pressure to bond different metals into “sandwiched” sheets. The company was co-founded in 1994 by Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash as Travis Jeans Inc., a line of maternity jeans named for Nash's son. All-Clad Metalcrafters are manufacturers of premium cookware who are known for their well constructed, easy to use and efficient cooking products.
