It’s all about juxtaposition for the fashion duo Anzevino & Florence. With William Anzevino hailing from the east coast and Richard Florence from west, they find inspiration in opposing forces. The two artists met in 2000 and stumbled into fashion when they were commissioned by the Andy Warhol Museum to develop a line of t-shirts using his images. This line propelled them to create their own brand which was immediately picked up by such fashion heavyweights as Barney’s New York, Ron Herman, Lane Crawford in Hong Kong and Ships ltd in Japan.

Sometimes catastrophes become trophies is the brilliant title given to their latest collection which is a foray into the realms of high fashion, featuring unique silhouettes out of supple fabrics. The interactive, modular outfits, made with ultra comfortable fabrics like Modal and Bamboo are inspired by fencing garb, architecture, and tree bark, says ANZEVINO and FLORENCE.

As a child Nikki would go to her Grandmother Eda’s house every Sunday for family dinner & play in her grandmothers collection of gorgeous jewels. When her grandmother sadly passed Nikki inherited this amazing collection of vintage jewelry. While the pieces were beautiful in their own nature Nikki new they needed an edgy flair to fit into today’s fashion crazed world. She began recreating old cameo brooches into new rings, & necklaces, taking old gaudy brooches & designing them into new trendy necklaces. She soon found that everywhere she went people were always commenting on her custom made accessories and trying to buy them right off of her body.
