History

Manny Mashouf founded Bebe in 1976, opening the first boutique in San Francisco. The brand gained significant cultural prominence during the late 1990s and early 2000s, becoming a defining label of the Y2K era. Its logo-centric apparel and rhinestone-embellished designs were frequently worn by high-profile celebrities. In fashion history, Bebe represents the transition of boutique-style contemporary clothing into a mass-market retail powerhouse before shifting primarily to an e-commerce model.
