We have always envied the fabrics, patterns and details of men’s shirts, but couldn’t make them work for our bodies. So we decided to quit our jobs (Laura was a pharmaceutical marketing consultant and Kelly was a teacher) and start a clothing company that aimed to fill the gap for gender-defying fashion by creating menswear-inspired apparel designed to fit a range of bodies.

Not being able to find clothes that matched our inner core left us feeling like we were not able to fully be ourselves. It was always a hunt to find something that felt right, and we were often forced to make the choice between poorly-fitting menswear and super feminine womenswear.
