Bruce
Nicole Noselli and Daphne Gutierrez founded Bruce in the mid-1990s after graduating from Parsons and finding their initial jobs in the fashion industry less than fulfilling. Since then, the dynamic design duo has garnered a cult-like following of downtown sophisticates who crave their distinctive and modern style. While they have maintained notably low-profile lives, the designers collected the CFDA's Perry Ellis Award for Womenswear in 2001. Their remarkable ability to combine function with femininity has become the signature look they now present to packed houses each season. The designers know exactly what to give their young urbanite audience: unusual skirts, pants and jackets paired with softly gathered and draped tops, a supreme attention to detail, and personal touches that evoke chic individuality.
