Bebe Moves to Century City

Bebe Stores Inc. vacated its design studios at the Cooper Design Space in downtown Los Angeles and moved into its own building, located at 10345 Olympic Blvd. in Los Angeles. The company is officially based in Brisbane, Calif., near San Francisco, but moved its design crew, including founder and Chairman Manny Mashouf, to Los Angeles about three years ago to get closer to the center of the California fashion market. Bebe executives said they were looking for more space as well as their own building. Bebe’s former office, on the sixth floor of the Cooper Design Space, will be converted to wholesale showroom space.
