The MESSY History of Lisa Frank

Lisa Frank is known as the queen of rainbows, unicorns, and.... lawsuits? Lisa Frank Inc. was a massively popular sticker and school supply brand in the 90s and early 2000s. Despite its loud aesthetic, the brand quietly disappeared by the 2010s. After years of mostly silence, the company's recent collaboration with Zara Larsson for the cover of her Midnight Sun album, combined with the boom of Y2K nostalgia has brought it back into the spotlight. I looked into the entire history of Lisa Frank to discover why the company disappeared and how it's managed to make a comeback 20 years later, in spite of its many scandals.
