Jordache Enterprises Inc.
 PROFILE
It was the early 1980s: Robin Williams wore rainbow suspenders, Tom Hanks wore a dress, and if you were hot stuff, you wore Jordache jeans. Fast-forward two decades, and Jordache Enterprises now offers jeans, apparel, and accessories (shoes, purses) primarily for teens, mostly through decidedly non-designer Wal-Mart. It licenses the Jordache name for eyewear, luggage, and even diapers; it also makes jeans under license for Gasoline and FUBU. Brothers and Israeli immigrants Joe, Ralph, and Avi Nakash own Jordache. During a 1977 New York City blackout, one of their four clothing stores was burned and looted; the resulting insurance windfall enabled them to launch Jordache later that year.
