Kymareo- Kameereo Crisp
I'm a self taught Houston based RTW designer
I design for the woman who wants to stand out. My design aesthetic is eclectic, chic and sexy but very sophisticated with a modern twist and a little drama.
I am a true believer that we choose clothes that represent our personalities, our moods, our ambitions and our desires and my dream has came to life after many fail attempts, late nights and early mornings.
After hard work. "Kymareo" brand was born paving the way for me to immerse myself into a little slice of designing, sewing and creating heaven.

Idiom- Victoria Graham
I’ve always had a love for denim and a desire to wear it everywhere. I never liked that people felt there were places I couldn’t wear my favorite denim jeans because they said they didn’t fit the occasion. So I started sketching denim that told a story and was intricate and as embellished as I feel we all are as people. Idioms are strings of words that paint a picture with colors while expressing, feelings, beliefs, experiences, and ideas. They don’t say things in a shortcut way. Instead there is intention, personality, and culture spun in each one . Some people might ask someone to speak plainly instead of in idioms same as they might ask you or I to be more digestible. IDIOM is a brand devoted to embracing boldness and created to mirror the ways that we were never meant to be simplified as individuals. I believe we are idioms and we shouldn’t simplify
