Modegeschiedenis
Sophia Amoruso founded the company in 2006 as an eBay store selling curated vintage clothing. It transitioned into a standalone e-commerce platform, becoming a pioneer in social media-driven retail. The brand's rapid growth and subsequent bankruptcy in 2016 highlighted the volatility of the fast-fashion industry. It was later acquired by the Boohoo Group. Nasty Gal remains a significant case study in the evolution of digital-first fashion entrepreneurship.
