History of Mossimo

Mossimo was originally founded in 1987 by Mossimo Giannuli in Balboa Island in Newport Beach, California. By marketing solely to surf shops, Mossimo’s company grossed $1 million in its first year. In 1991, Mossimo expanded the line to include sweatshirts, knits and sweaters. By 1995, the collection included women’s apparel and men’s tailored suits. After only eight years in business, Mossimo, Inc. had grown into a multi-million dollar lifestyle sportswear and accessories company.

In 1996, following expansion of the line, Mossimo realized a need to inject new energy into the brand. As Mossimo explained, “From 1987 to 1996, we were on an absolute roll. Tons of profit, tons of growth…but we needed a stronger infrastructure to keep up.” On March 28, 2000, Mossimo, Inc. announced a major, multi-product licensing agreement with Target stores.

The Target agreement allowed Mossimo, Inc. to design a range of product categories broader than ever before, while taking advantage of the merchandising expertise and powerful distribution capabilities of Target. As its first design partner, Mossimo brought Target guests fun fashion at a fair price and the collection continues to deliver exciting, affordable options. Mossimo, Inc. and the Mossimo for Target designs reflect the person behind the brand – innovative, young, modern, fun and a bit rebellious.
