Chopping It Up With Minnesota Twins CoCo & Breezy (PHOTOS)

GlobalGrind caught up with 20-year-old Minnesota twin designers Coco and Breezy earlier this week when they stopped by our offices to clue us in on what they've been up to.

We were really excited to shoot the breeze with the gorgeous and talented women who, over the last two years and within days of moving to New York, reinvigorated lifestyle fashion with their use of metal studs as the default material for dressing up our favorite accessories, particularly eyewear.

The Black and Puerto Rican twins run on making the ordinary extraordinary and are associated with style and innovation: music, fashion, art, runways, print, toys and everything in between. They have been borrowed from high end brands like Marc Jacobs and Ann Taylor and their unique perspective have taken them internationally to Europe as recently as this past winter where they participated in the Born Designers project with noted designer and genius Jean Charles de Castelbajac.

The ladies, who finished high school at 17 and are now living in Brooklyn, arrived at GlobalGrind wearing their latest creation. We weren't allowed to photograph it, due to restrictions, but it takes their design game, as far as production, to another level.

Fans of the duo will not be disappointed. 

After some tea and chatting, we talked about their inspiration, their success and how their parents encouraged their freedom. Check out their site here.
