Over five decades ago, Fred Segal opened a local jeans only store, called Pants America. This 300 square foot store grew over the years, and with the move to Melrose Avenue in 1961, the name was changed to Fred Segal. Segal invited key managers to purchase and run select boutiques within their respective area of merchandising expertise within the Fred Segal center. In May 2012, the worldwide brand licensing rights were acquired by Sandow Media. In late 2012, Sandow announced Fred Segal's expansion strategy to open new flagship locations, both internationally and domestically, launch Fred Segal's first e commerce site, and create private merchandise lines. In September 2017, Fred Segal opened their flagship store on the corner of Sunset and La Cienega in West Hollywood, California. In March 2019, Fred Segal was bought by Global Icons. Evolution Media, an investment firm created by Creative Artists Agency and TPG Capital, will maintain a minority stake. Fred Segal opened its store in Malibu in April 2019. On February 25, 2021, the founder of the eponymous brand died from complications from a stroke at age 87.
