1.Who are Coco & Breezy? :We are the new leaders of our generation. We created a product, and made something out of nothing. We are from Minnesota, which is not known for their fashion, and we show that you can make a dream into reality. We are designer / artist / entrepreneurs

2.What fashion trends interest you the most? All Black, simplicity, a great piece, shaved & Color Hair, a pop lipstick & PUNK… our style. We have had this style ever since I could remember, around 14ish. We started coloring our hair & always been into the punk style at a young age. We had parents that allowed us to express our style!

3.What made you want to create eyewear? We were always into wearing eyewear growing up; it was our protective shield to block our self from creating eye contact with those who didn’t understand us. Since we are artist, we created our own eyewear, and the value of it, is that it has a meaning that others can relate to. 

4.Whats Planet C&&B? For those who don’t know. Planet C&&B is our planet. You can only see it when you have our sunglasses on, and once you take them off you see a blank space that represents earth and the small-minded folks. In our Planet, you can be yourself. We created pieces that people may not understand, so we create a story that people can relate to and put them into a different universe.

5.Do you look up to any one in the fashion / accessory field? If notwhy not? If so then who and why so? We have great mentors. When we look up to someone, its their working aesthetic that we admire. We don’t some much get inspired by one’s designs, but we pay more attention to how they started their business and the structure of how they work. We do have some great mentors/designers that we look up to that have given us some great business tips. Shane & Shawn and Jean Charles de castlebajac have told us some great things that have stuck in our mind. Another designer we look up to how he started is Ralph Lauren, he started with a tie, which is an accessory piece, and he branded his name so well to expand his brand into other categories. That is the route we want to take. We are branding our name with our niche, which is Eyewear & accessories, and then we plan to brand off to more to expand our brand. 

6.What motivates you to work harder each day to better your brand?To never be satisfied, and to know we have inspired a number of people to push for their dreams and go for it. We don’t want to let anyone down, and we know we a capable to bigger & better. We remain with a positive prospective on life, and we are so happy and love what we do. We just want more & more. It’s all about working smarter then harder.

7. Who are some people you'd like the collab with ? Marc Jacobs, Betsey Johnson, JCDC, Kanye, and that’s only a few.

 8. Where do you see your careers 5 years from now? I see our company expanding to a larger scale brand. By 5 years, we would have branded our self; and have added clothing, and more accessories. Building our name to a house hold brand.We could totally see our self-speaking to people world wide about how to start a business and words of encouragement
