"We have had a productive 11 years working with the Iconix team to build Badgley Mischka from its red-carpet origins to a full lifestyle luxury brand," Badgley told WWD, while his co-founder and partner added: "It's really been our quest to own the brand again and control all the nuances that go into a business today. We missed a lot of those things and making certain decisions."

The twosome - who met and founded the label in the late Eighties after meeting at Parsons School of Design in New York - made their name as red-carpet specialists, creating show-stopping gowns for stars including Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Kate Winslet and Julia Roberts through the years.
The brand has expanded its breadth and depth with support from Iconix, and now intends to grow even further as it returns to its founders' control - with a return to jewellery and fragrance, and the addition of more retail stores to accompany its Beverley Hills flagship high on the agenda.
