Fame & Partners

What Fame & Partners does

Fame & Partners is a privately held, for-profit apparel and fashion platform targeting women, founded in 2013 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California. The company operates in the direct-to-consumer fashion segment with a workforce of 11-50 employees, suggesting a small-to-mid-stage venture-backed business. Its core business model is built around offering women's apparel through a digital platform, though specific product lines, merchandising details, and platform technology stack are not disclosed in the available data.

The company has undergone three funding rounds between 2014 and 2016, starting with a seed round in December 2014 led by Sydney Angels with participation from 25fifteen, Artesian VC, and QUT Creative Enterprise Australia. This was followed by an undisclosed investment from LDR Ventures in December 2015, and a $10.2 million Series A in April 2016 led by FirstMark with co-investment from Upfront Ventures. The progression from angel-seed to Series A with reputable US venture firms indicates the company achieved sufficient early traction to attract institutional capital, though no post-2016 operating or financial data is available.

A notable data integrity issue exists: the firm's website URL (fameandpartners.com) currently appears to host unrelated Vietnamese-language live football streaming content under the brand "Xoilac TV," which is inconsistent with the firm's documented identity as a women's apparel company. This discrepancy suggests either a domain sale, expiration, or scraping artifact, and means the actual current operating status and product offering of the company cannot be reliably verified from the web data alone.
