Isobella & Chloe

(626) 457-8823

Isobella & Chloe Swimwear, previously known as Ciao Bella Swimwear, enjoyed a phenomenal first season last year and has been recently nominated for Earnie Awards’ Best Swimwear line.
With a reputation for stylishly feminine and affordable swimwear, Isobella & Chloe Swimwear has upped its ante by including retro- and safari-inspired prints for Spring 2013. With a vast array of sister styles in three different cuts – swimsuits, tankinis, and bikinis – newborns and teens alike can be perfectly outfitted for photo ops by the pool and playful romps at the beach.

At first glance, Spring 2013 Swimwear is a burst of tropical-inspired hues, ranging from coral to aqua to lemon yellow. At a closer look, one will notice the variety of stylistic details, including layered ruffled or fringe skirts, floral and sequin embellishments, and adjustable straps and ruched sides. All swimsuits are constructed of a lightweight nylon/spandex blend and, in some cases, a netted overlay.

Styles are available from newborn to size 14. Be sure to view the line in its entirety, and see what the hype is about.

Isobella & Chloe will be at the ENK Show, KidShow, LA Mart, and a fashion show at the Dallas Market Center. A 5% discount is applicable to all domestic orders submitted before August 30.

Andy & Evan for little gentelmen

Evan Hakalir
(212) 967-7908

Andy & Evan left corporate America in 2009 with the mission of building an apparel company that was both product and customer-service driven. The pair started out by travelling the globe to source the finest fabrics and learn the secrets of crafting high quality garments. Andy & Evan debuted their brand by offering high quality men’s custom tailored shirts, quickly building a loyal following, and gaining keen insight into fit and bespoke detailing. Shortly thereafter, Andy (our co-founder) had a little baby boy of his own, and the pair noticed a void in the marketplace for well-made boys clothing. The little gentlemen collection was then born.

Andy & Evan focus on creating dressy & dressy-casual clothing for boys that is both practical and fashionable. Fit, detail, and style are paramount. The company litmus test for every garment designed and produced is “would Andy or Evan wear this?”. We like to think of it as a collection for little gentlemen, designed by actual gentlemen. And with Moms (AND DADS) cheering that “someone finally made a proper collection for boys!”, we know something is working.

Andy & Evan for little gentlemen can be purchased at high end retailers across the globe. To locate a retailer nearest you, please contact us at .

See Andy & Evan at ENK Children’s Club, August 5-7, 2012.
