ShoeDazzle is a California-based online fashion subscription service that offers a monthly selection of shoes, handbags and jewelry curated to their members' fashion preferences.[1][2]
History
The 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]
