About a week ago I was fortunate enough to score an interview with the designers behind my most recent fashion obsession! Coco&Breezy! These girls have created a completely fabulous line of eyewear that everyone from Amber Rose to Ashanti has been rocking lately. If you are a fan of looking like a straight up rockstar, then trust me, these are the shades for you!

1. Tell us a little bit about yourselves! Who are you, where are you from? What do you like to do for fun?
– Well we go by the names “coco&&breezy” we are identical twin designers, from Minneapolis, MN. We are now based in NYC! We have lived here for almost a month and a half now. We just got up and moved to NYC last minute, we are very determined and we just go for it!
2. How did you get in to accessory design? Why eyewear?
– We love accessories, and they are very important right now in fashion. We just wanted to come with something different. We were always known for wearing glasses in Minnesota. We used to wear glasses all the time in MN, to hide our eyes from making eye contact with people. Where we are from, they didn’t understand our style so people would talk ish about us, or laugh. So instead of wearing store bought glasses, we started an eyewear line.
3. What is the inspiration behind your current line of shades?
– We are very inspired by glam rock with our chains, studs, and spikes. Also, futuristic with our startrek styles. We want to bring editorial high fashion to the streets. Our customer is that 1 person that always stands out in a crowd of 100 people. Its that person that will rock glasses at night time when its not even sunny out, they just look DOPE for a living. Its that person who just doesn’t care & has the confidence to rock the eyewear.
4. Do you have any plans to expand your line with different types of accessories in the future?
– Yes, we are working on our next collection.. it’s going to be HOTT.. something different.. its a SURPRISE!
