Juicy girls, rejoice! Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash-Taylor, the ladies who originated the brand, will launch a label next year.

Skaist-Levy explained to WWD:
“We created the number-one fragrance. We built a brand that changed the way people dressed. But we didn’t set out to do that. We just set out to make clothes we wanted, and we’re going to do that again.”
Prices range from $175-$3,000, so start saving up. [Racked]
