Trina Turk designs and manufactures contemporary women's clothing. The company was created by designer Trina Turk with her husband--then stylist, now photographer--Jonathan Skow as partner in 1995. In the same year her clothing was sold by Barney’s New York, Fred Segal, and Saks Fifth Avenue. With design and production headquartered minutes from Downtown Los Angeles in Alhambra, California, Trina Turk’s wholesale sales topped $40 million in 2007.

Inspired by the multicultural mix, architecture, and landscape of Los Angeles and California, the Trina Turk Collection is full of the season’s most casually sophisticated – and “must have” silhouettes. Trina’s philosophy is to create wearable, optimistic fashion that incorporates the best aspects of classic American sportswear. The collection has become known for an amazing pant fit and gorgeous signature prints. Swimwear was introduced in 2007 through a license with Apparel Ventures.

Trina has drawn constant inspiration from the cocktail party and poolside lifestyle of the desert, so it was fitting that the first Trina Turk boutique opened in March 2002 in Palm Springs, California in a desert modernist building designed by Albert Frey. The flagship store in Los Angeles is an airy, ladylike pink-hued space. In December,2006, Trina Turk New York opened in the meatpacking district, bringing a splash of California color to the neighborhood. Trina Turk residential opened in May 2008 next door to the original boutique in Palm Springs. New stores for Fall 2008 include Burlingame, CA and Fashion Island in Newport Beach, CA. Spring 2009 will bring the launches of a hosiery “guest designer” line with Hue, and a printed fabric collection for the home with the venerable home furnishings manufacturer Schumacher.
