Bebe’s sales began declining when Neda Mashouf, its creative director, left after she divorced her husband in 2007. Manny Mashouf founded the company in 1979. The declining popularity of malls had a major part in the challenges that Bebe is facing now. It reportedly had an operating loss of $4.6 billion in 2017.
