It’s 2025, a brand new year to create a new version of yourself; that all starts with reinventing (refreshing) the pieces in your closet. Don’t know where to begin? Think about what’s missing in your closet (a color, pattern, or print) or what’s needed (a classic black dress, new handbag, or stiletto pumps?) To make things less stressful, think of what’s hot at the moment. What are the pieces the girly’s on TikTok are currently obsessed with? Through research you can find plenty of brands to elevate your wardrobe and make you feel great inside and out. Luckily I have a few lined up just for you. Take a look at these brands who are defining trends and transforming them into fashion moments.
Without a young Angel Neal’s love for accessories, we may have never been able to see her brand, ANiCE’ by Angel come to fruition. An idea and a dream led founder and CEO, Angel to launch her brand in Fall 2022. Hailing from Tampa, Florida Angel grew her name to fame by working the crazy streets of New York all while collaborating with fashion icons like Ming Lee Simmons and Rihanna and as the founder and editor of Disrupshion Magazine. Now with years of experience in the fashion world, Angel’s accessory brand has become popular for exuding luxury and individuality; all while staying fresh with minimalist and edgy silhouettes as well as being affordable for all. And if you’re thinking about about purchasing, you may want to run and not walk to her website, her handbags are almost ALWAYS sold out! I really applaud Angel for her commitment to experimenting and redefining luxury standards while making pieces that never blend in and always stand out!
Identical twins turned business partners, Corianna and Brianne Dotson, (known as Coco and Breezy) formed their very own eyewear company together at 19 years old in 2009. After DJing for many years together the twins decided to step away from the exhilarating music scene and create unisex eyewear embracing individuality and diversity. Paying close attention to detail, Coco and Breezy have created frames with unique cutouts and architectural-inspired shapes that are not only functional but are of amazing quality. Their eyewear has been worn by some of the biggest celebrities in music such as; Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, and even the late great Prince! As successful as their eyewear has been, it has always been important to Coco & Breezy to look behind the lens and focus on the bigger picture; “While our sunglasses are a fashion piece, we’re really passionate about eye health. When thinking about the design, the size, the lenses, our goal is to be the coolest brand that also protects your eyes” Coco said in a recent Forbes interview. “What we’re doing is bigger than eyewear. We’re creating a community in an industry where everyone is limited. Eyewear stores and retailers have told us that we have too many black and brown people in our campaigns. But there are no other eyewear brands that are really speaking to communities” Breezy states. From the designs to the message, I believe Coco & Breezy’s eyewear will go down as one of the most legendary brands ever thanks to the 2 coolest twins!
They say to build a great brand, you have to start with a great foundation, and luckily for Jamaica native Brittany Campbell, (CEO and Creative Director of CIAO by CC) her family’s traditions of crafting garments and bringing life to them, all while working in the corporate world left a heavy impression on Brittany to be as creative and professional with her own goals as well. Influenced by her mother’s skills for accessorizing straw hats, sarongs, and beautiful scarves and her sister’s expertise in marketing, Brittany found her passion for fashion and marketing. Intertwining both, Brittany birthed CIAO by CC, a luxury womenswear brand where she showcases her talent with innovative campaign shoots that exude creativity and push boundaries within the fashion industry. Always sticking to her roots, Brittany’s brand heavily represents her rich cultural heritage with quality craftsmanship and not only does her brand reflect her personal journey but she pays homage to her mother and aunts by creating luxurious evening and resortwear that can tell a story for a lifetime!
