Four years later, the business expanded, even more, when it began producing tailored suits for men and women.

Mossimo Inc., founded by Giannulli, became a multimillion-dollar lifestyle, clothing, and accessory company in just eight years. Its equities were shortly traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

However, Mossimo’s profitability began to decrease in 1997, and the company lacked the infrastructure to compete. Due to a lack of technology, Giannulli believed the company was not working to its full potential. So, to reap the benefits of sophisticated technology, he chose to merge the company with Target Stores, one of the textile industry’s behemoths. Mossimo signed a multi-product license arrangement with Target Stores for $27.8 million on March 28, 2000. Giannulli sold his company to Iconix Brand Group six years later.

The brand is currently distributed in about 1,700 stores in the United States, with 600 international franchisees in the United Kingdom, Australia, South America, the Philippines, India, and Japan.

Mossimo went public in 1996 through an initial public offering. After failing to shift from streetwear/beachwear to high fashion, the creator downscaled the brand and announced on March 28, 2000, Mossimo, Inc. a large, multi-product license arrangement with Target stores for $27.8 million. Iconix Brand Group purchased Mossimo in 2006.
