About Mark and James

Mark Badgley and James Mischka are known for glamorous, polished design and special-occasion style. Over three decades, their work has become a favorite for red carpet moments and eveningwear.

They met at Parsons School of Design in New York and found a shared aesthetic. Before launching their label, Mark designed for Donna Karan, and James designed menswear for WilliWear WilliSmith.

They launched Badgley Mischka in 1988 and have built a signature that feels modern yet timeless, welcoming women of many ages. The brand continues to evolve while staying true to its refined point of view.

MISSION STATEMENT: "BADGLEY MISCHKA DEFINES TIMELESS GLAMOUR THAT INSPIRES CONFIDENCE AND PASSION."

Their designs highlight fine fabrics, precise craftsmanship, and an element of interest in the silhouette or in a luxurious detail.

"Our style nods to classic Hollywood glamour; the signature is simple, streamlined, and elegant," says James.

"One zip and you are glamorous. We keep it effortless, so a woman can change after work for an evening out," says Mark.

Badgley Mischka is carried by leading retailers worldwide, including Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Saks Fifth Avenue, as well as the Los Angeles flagship boutique. For more information, visit www.badgleymischka.com.
