For that reason, it's no surprise that Nasty Gal is named after a song - specifically, a 1975 album and song by funk and soul singer Betty Davis, the wife of Jazz legend Miles Davis.It’s hard to believe the first thing that Sophia Amoruso sold online was a stolen book, or that she started Nasty Gal in 2006 after developing a hernia and spending a lot of time on the internet. Nasty Gal, according to its site's About Us page, "was founded by Sophia Amoruso 10 years ago in a tiny San Francisco apartment stacked with killer vintage, a single laptop and an eBay account" and eventually became a retailer of "new clothing, shoes and accessories under our own label (and a few others), all for gals who’ve got the confidence to just be themselves." Based on the brand's social media presence (mainly its Instagram), it's clear that the company's image is rooted deeply in pop culture. Now that there's a show delving into the company's history, many viewers are wondering - is Nasty Gal really named after a song? Amoruso, then a directionless 22-year-old, first sold thrift store finds in an eBay store she called "Nasty Gal Vintage," eventually turning that into the multimillion-dollar empire that Nasty Gal wound up as at its peak back in 2014. Netflix's new show Girlboss follows the early career of Sophia Amoruso, the real-life founder and CEO of every twenty-something's favorite online retailer, Nasty Gal.
