Sophia Amoruso Biography

Sophia Amoruso is the creative genius, modern-day businesswoman, and fashion doyenne who has blazed an unparalleled route in developing a modern brand as the creator and CEO of Nasty Gal, the country's fastest-growing online shop. Forbes has called Amoruso "Fashion's New Phenom," praising her burgeoning popularity and commercial acumen as being "up there with retail's most successful endeavors." Amoruso's highly anticipated debut book, #GIRLBOSS, was recently launched by Penguin Random House's Portfolio and Putnam divisions. #GIRLBOSS is a sarcastic and irreverent look at how Amoruso naturally developed her business from the bottom up. It's half memoir, part business book with an edge. Amoruso's amazing personal experience is told in the book, as are thoughts on business and professional advice for young women. The GoodReads Choice Awards named it the Best Business Book of 2014. At barely 28 years old, Amoruso has become one of the most renowned individuals in retail and a cultural icon who has built a fashion business called Nasty Gal" after a 1975 Betty Davis album and the singer's outspoken and shamelessly sensual attitude. Amoruso's Nasty Gal was inspired by her one-woman vintage endeavor on eBay, where she rapidly discovered she had a flair and photographer's eye for fashion, styling, and shopping. After being removed from the site in 2008, the business has evolved into a one-stop shop and online retail destination with a progressive following of fashion risk-takers and well over a hundred million dollars in revenue in only five years. Amoruso's daring style is now linked with six-inch platforms, motorcycle jackets, rock shirts, torn jeans, and the odd red lip" all parts of the fashion retailer's inherent personal taste. The New York Times poetically described Sophia Amoruso, who has recently captured the eye of Silicon Valley, as "if ever there was a Cinderella of tech, Sophia Amoruso could be it." With a tireless enthusiasm with all things digital and social media, Amoruso has advanced her brand's distinctive look on every channel, including 500,000 Facebook followers and 600,000 Instagram followers. According to Forbes, these meticulously maintained pages have "converted 'likes' into purchases." Amoruso has revolutionized marketing with a business built almost exclusively on unpaid social media from day one, pulling millions of visitors back to the Nasty Gal site every month. Amoruso has also expanded her reach with the creation of Super Nasty, a biannual fashion newspaper inspired by the Nasty Gal concept with an aim to connect people and highlight rising and legendary talent. Following Nasty Gal's success, Amoruso is committed to growing her business and team of creative mavericks in every way she can.
