History
Forrester Creations was founded in 1967 when Stephanie Douglas Forrester convinced her father Chicago business tycoon John Douglas to lend her and her new husband Eric Forrester (John McCook) 50,000 dollars to start the company. In 1993, Brooke Logan Forrester (Katherine Kelly Lang) gained 51% of the stock, the CEO position and took over the company when the Forresters could not buy her BeLieF (which stood for her initials, Brooke Logan Forrester) product. In 1996 Brooke married then designer Grant Chambers and made him CEO. The company was also taken over by Nick Marone (Jack Wagner), who blackmailed the Forresters into selling it to him. However, in October 2007, Nick decided to sell Forrester Creations back when he began failing as the company's CEO in exchange for Eric divorcing his then-wife Stephanie Douglas. Eric has agreed to divorce his wife, making the deal official. This deal, however, didn't include the Jackie M Boutiques.
In May 2008 Donna and Eric married, and the Ridge, Throne, and Felicia tried to get her out of the company. Felicia was going to pay Owen $200,000 to breakup Donna and Eric. He didn't and told Donna. Ridge told Eric to sign over ownership of Forrester to Ridge and Brooke. Eric agreed but later changed his mind. Eric had a heart attack right after he told Donna he was not going to give Ridge and Brooke ownership of the company. While Eric is in a coma Donna learned she had Eric's power of attorney giving her ownership of Forrester Creations while Eric is in a coma.
She fired Ridge, Thorne and Felicia at press conference replacing them with herself as CEO, her son Marcus, and Rick.
Recently, Eric made Ridge CEO and took back Thorne, Felicia, and Brooke after they left for short periods of time. Forrester's financial problems gave Bill Spencer, Jr. the opportunity to pressure the bank to call their loan after it was 30 minutes late on a payment and sell it to him thereby making Forrester Creations a subsidiary of Spencer Publications. The Forresters have made a deal with the bank to pay off their $100 million loan in a year instead of 10 years to stop Spencer from taking control of the company. Eric has stated that he will gradually give more control of the company to and finally make Ridge Chairman of the Board. On October 21, 2009, Eric signed over ownership rights to Forrester Creations to Spencer Publications. Bill Spencer has named Katie Logan the new CEO of Forrester Creations.

The first fragrance was called Phoebe named after Ridge Forrester's daughter Phoebe Forrester.
Forrester Creations Boutiques
