"Juicy Couture" was co-founded in 1994 by Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash-Taylor, wife of John Taylor from Duran Duran. It was originally "Travis Jeans", a line of maternity jeans named after Gela's son, Travis.

I hate shopping. If I'm going to drive somewhere, sort through inventory and do math in my head, I'm going to get paid for it. I have no idea why so many women are into it, much as I can't figure out why they pay people to massage them and not have sex. So I got two expert shoppers, Gela Nash-Taylor and Pamela Skaist-Levy, owners of Juicy Couture, to spend a full day with me in L.A. shopping.
