Max Azria moved to the USA in 1981 and launched Jess - a new concept retail store offering hip French clothing. In 1989 he founded BCBG. His chic designs and artful styling captured the interest and attention of Hollywood stars and women who wanted modern sophisticated apparel at prices below those of other high fashion labels. With headquarters in Beverly Hills, California, BCBG has been a true combination of European sophistication and American spirit since its inception and has been known for its signature collection of women's clothes as well as adding shoes, handbags, perfumes and cosmetics to it's line of products.
