Every month, members receive a new virtual and customized boutique as well as access to the various other styles available on the website.  .

In 2011, JustFab added fashion icon Kimora Lee Simmons to its team where she serves as the company president and creative director. In addition to Simmons, JustFab employs the nation’s top style influencers, including celebrity stylist Jessica Paster and stylist and TV personality, George Kotsiopoulos.

In 2013, JustFab acquired FabKids. FabKids is also a fashion subscription site, but caters to the style demands of children and their fashion conscious parents.

Membership

JustFab offers a special VIP membership for women who are looking to keep up with the latest fashions without spending designer dollars. Key features for members are low prices—most items are $39.95—free shipping and a customized shopping experience. Most shoes, bags, denim and jewelry are available for $39.95 with free shipping, but JustFab does offer lower-priced items with minimal shipping charges. Members are not obligated to make a purchase each month to remain active nor do they have to pay a monthly membership fee.  If a member does not want to by an item or pay for a $39.95 credit, they can use the “skip the month” feature by the 5th of each month and will not incur any charge.  VIP customers may shop the entire website but are first directed to a selection of JustFab merchandise hand-picked by company stylists based on the member’s personal shopping profile.
