At Paul Frank Industries, tees are dyed in happiness and rainbow fun. Cuteness in its purest form is unleashed into the streets and no one can resist the adorable designs of Paul Frank. He is responsible for an unconventional, renowned worldwide clothing brand that sells various garments and accessories.

However, it wasn’t always this way. Paul Frank’s beginnings were humble. In late 1995, he was just a local newsstand employee. He started making wallets to promote his band. The wallets were sewed from scraps of Naugahyde and decorated with pixyish characters like Julius the big smile monkey, Skurvy and the Worry Bear. The wallets started a wave of enthusiasm in Paul’s hometown of Huntington Beach, California. So, Frank was simply forced by his friends to make more and more happy accessories.

In 1997, Paul Frank together with his friend Ryan Heuser founded Paul Frank Industries (PFI). PFI meant big business – incorporating Paul Frank clothing, Paul Frank accessories and Paul Frank watches without leaving out the initial values of fun and friendship that started the label’s success. Paul Frank brand was growing fast powered by an unheard-of, almost anti-marketing business philosophy which attracted hoards of fans of all ages. Brandweek Magazine recognized their fresh and innovative market strategy in 2001. For the prestigious business magazine, the people behind the young clothing brand were the “Marketers of the Next Generation”.

The creators of Paul Frank’s collections admit on their website (paulfrank.com) that many ingenious people have influenced them including: Mary Blair, Charles and Ray Eames, Walt Disney, Alexander Girard, Herman Miller and Frank Lloyd Wright. Their cartoon-inspired style retains an offbeat approach to daily life. Humor, pleasant sarcasm and everyday cleverness are playing in a conspiracy of fun. Paul Frank has a clothing line for each member of the family. Regardless their age, they are sure to appreciate with a big smile the gifts from Paul Frank’s collections.

The company conquered not just the hearts of ordinary people worldwide, but many celebrities too. The creative team at Paul Frank stretched the limits of their Southern California suburbs designing guitar straps for The White Stripes, Foo Fighters, Weezer and many other music bands.  Paul Frank’s tees and other products appeared in numerous blockbuster movies like Superbad, Knocked Up, Austin Powers, American Pie and Charlie’s Angels. The media is always watching Paul Frank stores, because actors like Jason Schwarzman, Elijah Wood, Zooey Deschanel and Michael Rapaport are constantly visiting. Pop Stars (Hilary Duff, Avril Lavigne), punk bands (Bad Religion, The Donnas, Alkaline Trio), and indie rocks finest (The White Stripes, The Shins, Interpol, Pretty Girls Make Graves, Hot Hot Heat) are wearing in their concerts the fun products of Paul Frank.

The label is also present at many philanthropic events which directly benefit children, the arts and the environment. The brand is the official partner of Festival of Children, Boarding for Breast Cancer, The Elton John AIDS Foundation, First Book and The Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles.

You can find the label’s unique garments at their own stores in Southern California, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Chicago and New York City, as well as outside US in London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Dubai, Qatar, Bangkok, Athens, and Taipei.
