entertainment industry's best–dressed actresses. The beaded, form–fitting Badgley Mischka–label designs seem to hearken back to a bygone era of Hollywood dazzle. "Our philosophy is, 'One zip and you're glamorous,'" Badgley told Janice Min when she profiled the duo for People. "When you get dressed for evening, you shouldn't have to work hard at it."
Though the two designers—partners in business and in life—have lived in the New York City area since the early 1980s, each have ties to California. Badgley was born in East St. Louis, Missouri, in 1961, and grew up in suburb called Belleville. His father was a department–store executive whose job took the family to Lake Oswego, Oregon, when Badgley and his twin sister, O'Hara, were seven. The future designer claimed to have sketched evening clothes since he was a child. "I remember drawing women and clothes when I could barely hold a crayon," he told Min in People. He studied art at the University of Oregon, and then moved on to the University of Southern California, where he took business courses. Around 1982, he enrolled at the Parsons School of Design in New York City.
Mischka was a native of California, the eldest of three boys and born just before Christmas of 1960. The family moved from the beach town of Malibu to New Jersey when he was 12, however, and Mischka recalled it as a rather difficult transition. "In Malibu we would make love beads and dye our clothes," he said in the People interview with Min. "In New Jersey, it was totally chinos and button–down shirts." During his senior year of high school, Mischka won a National Merit Scholarship, and used it at Rice University. A biomedical engineering major there, he planned on designing artificial limbs as a career, but eventually switched to an arts–management program at the Houston, Texas, school. Around 1982, he, too moved to New York to study at Parsons.
