Meet Pam & Gela: A New Line From the Founders of Juicy Couture

Glamour: How would you say it differs from Juicy and Skaist Taylor?

Gela: It's more causal than Skaist Taylor, for sure. And when we open stores we'll have Skaist Taylor in the stores, like Prada and Miu Miu. I mean, the through line with Juicy is they're both casual collections but they aren't alike.

Pamela Skaist-Levy: Juicy was then!

Gela: Yeah, Juicy was who we were then, and this is who we are now.

Glamour: Would you say it depicts your evolution and how you are as designers now?

Gela: Yes, exactly. Inherently we are Juicy but that was a long, long time ago. And just like everyone has changed since then, so have we. The vibe is different for sure, it's who we are now.

Glamour: Festival season is coming up, what pieces could you see at Coachella or Lollapalooza?

Gela: I mean the red at Coachella with the perfect hat, bag, and shoes I can totally see. It's cold at night; you keep the sweatshirt on. During the day, take the sweatshirt off and just wear a T-shirt underneath.

Pam: We have a really cute romper that's got caught off sleeves—

Gela: And that's indigo fleece.

Glamour: Oh, so it will keep you warm too.

Gela: Yeah! A lot of it would work for Coachella. I guess it's because we're California.

Glamour: So how would you say your modern-day tracksuit differs from the Juicy ones of before?

Pam: It's a completely different silhouette today than it was then. Juicy was low, tight across the bottom, it had a flare. Listen, I love a flare, but people are not into that right now. It's a much slouchier, lower-rise kind of a vibe. Juicy was a different day!

Gela: Your eye changes, ya know? So it's slouchy, you scrunch it up, it zips up the back, it has a muscle sleeve.
