Undesigned grew out of my Master’s Thesis project at Cornell University. Trying to find a sustainable design method, I was using post-consumer recycled clothing + technical fabrics to make clothing for the Urban Nomad, a theoretical client who uses human-powered (walking/cycling, etc) and mass-transit to get around. Ironically, I ended up back in LA, where I grew up and where the car-centric culture is the opposite of an urban nomadic lifestyle. In 2003, I launched Undesigned, which was a micro-line focused on pleated “travel wear” and sold mainly at samples sales and boutiques worldwide. In 2005, I opened my “starter store” in Echo Park (where Hecho En Echo is now), since my dream was to have a little shop with a studio in the back. Read more>>

Growing up in the 60’s and 70’s there were not many dolls that reflected my skin tone or kinky hair nonetheless; that did not stop me from styling the hair of my dolls. Without knowing I began desiring long ponytails and straighter hair. My natural hair was short, coarse and kinky; I could not pull my hair into ponytails as I wanted. I began requesting dolls with longer hair that I could do more versatile styles with. Read more>>

Marmont Treehouse was founded when my business partner and I decided to move to the West Coast after one too many harsh winters in NYC. I come from a finance background, and he was a luxury fashion executive. We always had an affinity for entertaining at home and loved creating environments conducive to relaxed and comfortable settings. We were instantly enamored by Southern California weather and its relaxed atmosphere. We found a home in the Hollywood Hills, completely surrounded by trees, something that we yearned for in our past urban life, and that’s where the inspiration to name the company Marmont Treehouse came to be.
