One was a traveler, trekking through exotic lands across the Atlantic. The other was a designer, focused on fashion runways in the city. Postcards kept them in touch while apart; a sewing machine brought them together. In January of 1999, while discussing the latest fashion trends over coffee, they realized that they were a design team waiting to happen. Vivian with her free-spirited flair, Ingrid with her refined detailing, both obsessive compulsive; they set out together to create a new philosophy in accessible luxuries for the modern woman.
