We’ve decided to start a clothing line. Leu and I met while we both worked at Macy’s buying office in the Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis. For years we’ve been talking about starting our own line… it originated as just ideas for clothes discussed over random work happy hours. Then this summer (2009), we started getting serious about the idea. So we hired a graphic artist and a web developer and got to work. Leu pretty much handles all the clothing design ideas and development, while I work on creative.
We’d really like the clothes to represent Minneapolis and “feel” Midwest, while still pushing the edge, trend-wise. We’d like for TAN & SOLOMON to be bigger than us; it would be great to connect with local artists, musicians and actors to push Minneapolis arts forward.
