St. John's partnership with Angelina Jolie will extend beyond just having her star in the ad campaigns. A philanthropic organization will be formed benefiting children's causes.
Founded in 1962, St. John has expanded beyond its origin of a small family operation to the global American luxury brand known today. The company, headquartered in Irvine, California now employs more than 4,000 people and operates dozens of offices and manufacturing facilities worldwide.
Top specialty stores in 28 countries and 32 company-owned retail boutiques sell its three fashion collections. St. John is today as it has always been, a carefully managed company, maintaining consistency of product through the administration of all stages throughout the design and manufacturing process.
