Spectra Fashions (later Logan Designs, Spectra Couture and then finally "M" Fashions) is a fictional fashion house located on the fictional 380 South Wyler Street in Los Angeles on the American soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful.
History
It all started about 3 decades ago when Adam Alexander, Sally's hubby (now known to the world as Myles Fairchild) disappeared leaving behind nothing but debts, bankrupted business and a little girl named Macy Alexander Sharpe.
In order to survive Sally started to knock off designs belonging to the major fashion houses mainly Forrester Creations. By doing so, Sally became the Forrester's no. 1. The mere mention of her name was more than enough to send Stephenie Forrester into a fit of uncontrolled anger.
Sally's first documented attempt at steal Forrester Creations designs was when she gave Clarke Garrison (who was at the time Kristen Forrester's hubby) the money he needed to pat off Margo Lynley in exchange for 6 Forrester Original designs.
When this attempt failed becuase Clarke gave her his own designs instead of using his own designs instead of Forrester's, Sally decided to change tactics. Instead of designs to cross the lines was Clarke (what a suprise) after Sally offered him his own label.
Stealing one of Eric Forrester's top designers and thus hurting him professionally, wasn't enough for Sally. She approached Felicia Forrester, Eric's youngest daughter, and offered her own label.
Felicia who was disappointed when Eric refused to include her very modern designs in his collection, signed a contract with Spectra Fashions.
When Eric, who was planning to offer Felicia the same deal, discovered her defection, he was very hurt. But he swallowed his pride, went to Spectra and offered Sally $250,000 to free his daughter from her contract. Sally refused, enjoying her success in hurting both professionally and personally.
Sally managed 3 times so far to worm her way into Forrester fashion shows. The first time was on the Queen Mary when Sally, with the help of a big contribution to charity, was able to force Stephanie into agreeing to a joint fashion show of Forrester and Spectra.
When as a part of the entertainment Eric went on stage to sing, Sally sneaked behind his back on the stage and started to sing a duet Spectra is Forrester Creations' main rival, headed by Sally Spectra (played by the late Darlene Conley). It is a knock-off firm, stealing designs from their rival company, (Forrester Creations).
At Spectra, Sally was usually helped by her daughter Macy (Bobbie Eakes), and Sally's receptionist, Darla Einstein (Schae Harrison). Also seen often was fashion designer Clarke Garrison (Daniel McVicar), who fathered C.J. (Mick Cain), Sally's son.
Spectra went bankrupt in 2005 and Sally was forced to close the company.
In 2007 it was revealed that Sally had sold the defunct-Spectra, but that the new owners had gone bankrupt and so ownership of the company had been reverted back to Sally. Sally, who is now living in St. Tropez, decided to sell the company again.
Jackie Marone purchased the company after being convinced by Clarke to do so. Clarke also convinced Jackie that they should "tweak" Eric Forrester's designs and then claim them as their own. After much convincing Jackie's son, Nick Marone, agreed to pay for the company and come on board as a "silent" partner. Jackie has also changed the name of the company to "M" Fashions.
"M" Divisions
Since, Dominick Marone and Jacqueline Payne Marone have bought Spectra Couture Jackie's Jackie M Boutiques will sell "M" Fashions' deisgns.
