Corianna & Brianna Dotson
Better known as Coco & Breezy, the innovative women who took the fashion industry by storm with their approach to creating one-of-a-kind sunglasses, grew up in Apple Valley, Minnesota. In spite of the fact that their suburban hometown is not exactly a melting pot of budding fashionistas, Coco and Breezy went against the grain to pursue their dreams. Luckily, their parents were in full support of their “wearable art.” Shortly after moving to New York City, the accessory line instantly took off due to hard work and true talent. Coco and Breezy’s line became no stranger to editorials, and many notable celebrities were seen in their eyewear including, but not limited to, Prince, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, and Rihanna.

Danielle & Chantelle Dwomoh-Piper
These two are triple threats. With titles such as models, bloggers, and designers, Danielle and Chantelle are slowly, but surely on track to conquer the world. Staying true to their vibrant roots in Ghana, their womenswear collections always consist of colorful, eye-catching prints. Their raw talent was honed in New York City by The High School of Fashion Industries, Fashion Institute of Technology, and internships at Marchesa and Shwartz & Benjamin. This invaluable experience prepped these ladies to have their merchandise seen on tons of celebrities and countless features in Marie Claire, Women’s Wear Daily and Essence, among many others. In addition to their fashion-based talents, Danielle and Chantelle are sure to always give back by raising “funds for several non-profit organizations.”
