With A-LIST celebrity clienteles such as Beyoncé, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Serena Williams, Kelly Osbourne and Lady GaGa to name few. Coco and Breezy gain strength from being bullied, dealing with hurtful issues and taking a risk with their dreams by leaving the comfort of their home town for the big city to express their own unique sense of style and fashion. They never would've guessed within a year or two they would be highly recommended for their designs in eye wear and building an empire with the very things they were teased for. It takes true passion and hard work to succeed with things that are not the status quo in our society. CoCo and Breezy didn't and wasn't gonna let someone else control their destiny. They stuck with what made them different, took risks and succeeded showing themselves that anything is possible if you believe in what you do. I admire these young ladies being entrepreneurs that contribute something fresh and different to the fashion industry and most importantly being good examples for other young talents out there to never give up on your gifts and talents if you want it, it's possible to have it. Great job
WHO ARE COCO & BREEZY
Corinna (CoCo) and Brianna (Breezy) Dotson are African-American and Puerto Rican identical twin sisters. When they were just 19 years old, they launched their own fashion accessory line and company in 2009 naming it COCO & BREEZY, based in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
The designers grew up in the suburbs of Apple Valley, Minnesota, working two jobs each at the Mall of America. “Our parents allowed us to be very expressive with our clothes, and we got a lot of stares for it,” "People would make fun of us, so we would hide behind sunglasses—they gave us a level of confidence that we never had.” The pair slowly but surely began to produce their own range of aplomb-inducing shades, and after a trip to New York in 2009, they knew the Big Apple was the right place for their operation.
