Behind the fashion label Badgley Mischka is the duo Mark Badgley and James Mischka. These two designers had a vision back in 1988: they wanted to bring the glamorous fashion style of the 1940s back onto the red carpet. According to Vogue they now rank amongst the top ten US designers. The style of their creations is sophisticated and is not only aimed at younger consumers but at all women who prefer modern, wearable couture
