Launched in 2011 by founder Marissa Webb, a Korean-born designer with over a decade of experience at J.Crew, the eponymous label carved a niche in the contemporary market with its distinct blend of masculine and feminine design. Webb’s background, which also includes a tenure as Creative Director for Banana Republic, informed her approach to creating structured, tailored pieces softened with feminine details. The brand became known for its sharp blazers, versatile blouses, and dresses that infused a downtown, urban coolness with a sense of timelessness. Webb’s designs often played with juxtaposition—hard and soft, structured and fluid—to create a modern wardrobe for women who appreciate both classic style and unexpected, edgy twists.
