Our theory is 'life is hard, clothes should be fun.' It's difficult to make something that works for everyone, says DeSanto, but our garments come close because they're loose fitting and comfortable.

We both love to shop and we watch the trends carefully and then construct things that are stylish but focused on the 40-plus age group, which is our niche. We hope our creations help women get out of their comfort zone. We're interested in fabrics that are comfortable and light-weight. We like to mix and match patterns and textures to get different designs. Then we top it off with unusual buttons to give our clothing that unique, stylish appearance, Jackson said.

A Berne native, DeSanto was interested in art at an early age.
