Let Me Strut My Stuff

A girl can always dream about attending a fashion show, well this time it came to life. From a step and repeat, to the black runway, and the flashing lights the show satisfied my every need. Blinking was not a option. I had no desire to miss a moment of it. The young designers, Coco and Breezy alongside Ugo Mozie and Quinn Aston showcased a luxurious collection to the masses.

MEET THE DESIGNERS

New York At age 10 Ugo Mozie was discovered while eating lunch at his Englewood elementary school cafeteria and booked his first major gig with Sean Jean at the age of 14. In December 2008, at the age of 17, he partnered with then, 17 year old Quinn Aston to form Aston Mozie’. They both graduated from the same high school early and moved to New York. He quickly became friendly with influential people in the music and fashion industry such as Kelis, Legendary Damon, and Estelle. Ugo’s designs have been seen on celebrities such as Dawn Richards, Dirty Money, Tristan Wilds, Jermaine Crawford, and Dorian Standberry. Ugo’s motto is “It’s me who I look up to…. It’s me who I compare myself to; it’s me who I am influenced by.” 

Coco and Breezy are 19 year old identical twin accessory designers from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Coming from a city not known for its contributions to the fashion world, the twins accidentally fell into designing. After being outcasts for years growing up, they began to rock store bought shades to block themselves from taunting peers. On a whim, they decided to create their own custom eye wear, which created an overnight uproar and Gemela Amor by Coco and Breezy was born. Soon the two found themselves in publications and online blogs such as: W Magazine, The Source, VH1.com, and Concreteloop.com. Their glasses have been worn by some of today’s hottest celebs such as: Kelly Osborne, Steve Aoki, Vanessa Simmons, Ashanti, and Dawn Richards. Coco and Breezy represent the new generation of iconoclasts who are redefining youth culture. Totally happy in each other’s company, they live in a world all their own -We’re just visiting!connection
