Nasty Gal has closed a $16 million Series C funding round led by Ron Johnson. Index Ventures also participated in the funding round.

Nasty Gal is the brainchild of Sophia Amoruso who started the company in 2006 on eBay selling one-of-a-kind vintage clothing. Sophia sourced, styled, shot, and shipped her sartorial pieces to tastemakers worldwide on her own. Amoruso was an early e-tail pioneer in the social media arena, using word-of-mouth and social platforms exclusively to build her brand and communicate with customers and fans. Nasty Gal has grown over 500% each year since its inception and counts over 150,000 customers in more than 50 countries with over 35% of sales occurring outside of the US. Today, Nasty Gal has over 200,000 Facebook fans, 30,000 Twitter followers, 50,000 Instagram followers, and a growing base of Pinterest users as part of their rapidly growing cult following.
