COMPANY HISTORY
SPLENDORA is the brainchild of Gina Pell, an internet pioneer with impeccable taste and insider fashion connections (Sarah, her childhood BFF was the muse behind Louboutin’s red sole). Gina launched Splendora in 1999 and one year later Amy Parker, Executive Vice President & Co-Founder, turned Pell’s style savvy into a publishing powerhouse.
OUR MISSION
Pell explains, “We started in this business over a decade ago as luxury city guide editors so we know our chic. In fact, our editorial philosophy can be summed up in three words: chic, relevant, and engaging. Splendora's editors are passionate lifestyle informants who link our readers to the best things on the web and in the world. We also have a knack for finding fascinating tidbits like where to download Frida Giannini & Marc Ronson’s playlists; which website can fund your next creative venture; or the ingredients to a skin brightening smoothie.”
