The Smiley Brand

The Smiley Company is the company that owns the rights of the famous smiley and this in more than 100 countries. The smiley was created by Franklin Loufrani in 1971 to indicate a good news on the newspaper France-Soir.

Since the beginning of its creation, the little yellow head has multiplied its appearances especially when in the early 2000s, the company concedes the rights of its emoticons to telecommunication companies.

A few years later, the British label announced the creation of the Smiley World Association in 2005, a charitable subsidiary where it donates 10% of its profits.

It is finally in 2008 that we will see for the first time the use of the smiley in the world of fashion with the creation of Smiley Studio with a collaboration with Tommy Hilfiger.
