Meet Coco and Breezy, the Designers Behind Demi Lovato's Favorite Sunglasses Brand

Twin sisters Coco and Breezy Dotson are known as street style stars, eyewear designers, dancers, and DJs — and that’s just the beginning. The Dotson girls have captivated the world with their one-of-a-kind style and unique vision. Now, at 26 years old, the sisters are lauded for their genuine personalities, great energy, and, of course, impeccable fashion sense.

Although they began designing their own eyewear when they were 16, it didn’t just start as a cute way to accessorize – it was their way of surviving. “Growing up in Minnesota, we lived in the suburbs where a lot of people thought we were weird, or we really stood out. Some people would stare at us or laugh at us, and we did get bullied. So, we always wore sunglasses to block our eyes to avoid making eye contact from the people who didn’t understand us. It gave us this level of confidence we never had,” Breezy says.

Prince isn’t the only one to take notice though of their talent. Foot Locker’s new athleisure store SIX:02 tapped the girls to design an exclusive line of eyewear, which came out this summer. “They’re so fashion-forward and they are at a low price point, but still such great quality because they are hand-made,” Breezy says.

They’re also stepping even further outside the box, designing eyewear inspired by Twizzlers and Jolly Ranchers for Hershey’s. That collection debuted in July. “That’s what our brand stands for: breaking the rules, we create our own rules, and doing these things with Hershey’s and Foot Locker really shows that about us.”
