History
editThe company was founded by Kim Kardashian, Brian Lee, Robert Shapiro and M.J. Eng in 2009.[1]
In September 2011, Bill Strauss, the former CEO of Provide Commerce (which operates sites such as ProFlowers), became ShoeDazzle's CEO.[2] Co-founder Lee became chairman. In March 2012, ShoeDazzle dropped its $39.95 monthly subscription model and expanded into apparel, handbags, weddings and lingerie.[2]
In 2013, fashion expert Rachel Zoe joined ShoeDazzle as Chief Stylist.[3]
In August 2013, ShoeDazzle was acquired by rival online fashion subscription service JustFab. The two companies continued to run independently as separate brands.[4]
