Guess began in 1981 as a book of styles by Georges Marciano. Maurice, Georges' brother, was in charge of product development. Brothers Armand and Paul were in charge of distribution and in house advertising. Georges designed the clothes, burnishing Guess' signature style: stonewashed denim, lighter in color, softer and more form-fitting than the competitors. This initial chain of command later led to the break-up of the brothers' cooperation, with Georges selling his share of the Guess company to his other brothers due to a disagreement in a choice of product distribution strategy. Georges wanted to keep Guess in only the more exclusive stores, while the remaining brothers wanted a larger distribution strategy in discount type stores. Georges hated the idea. and different camps formed within the company, with each pledging allegiance to either Georges or the other three. Georges eventually gave in and sold his stake to his brothers in 1993 for $214.2 million.
