At the age of 21 these girls have accomplished alot through hard work and dedication in the fashion industry.These Minnesota natives, now living in NYC have made their collection of eyewear and accessories a houshold name with celebs such as Kelly Osbourne, Beyonce, and Nicki Minaj wearing their brand.
