Історія моди
French journalist Franklin Loufrani created the brand in 1971 to denote positive news stories in the newspaper France-Soir. During the 1980s and 1990s, the symbol became a central emblem of the acid house and rave subcultures. In fashion history, the company transitioned from a simple trademark to a global licensing entity, collaborating with luxury houses and streetwear labels to integrate the graphic into high-fashion collections and mainstream apparel.
