Coco & Breezy
Coco and Breezy are young twin fashion eyewear designers. Coco and Breezy received constant teasing and stares from their peers at school due to their eccentric style. The twins decided to wear sunglasses to hide from the constant bullying, as a result the idea for their line Gamela Amor was born. At the age of 18, the two women moved from their hometown Minneapolis, Minnesota to New York City to further their careers in fashion. Various celebrities have been seen wearing Gamela Amor, such as Serena Williams, Ciara, Kelly Osbourne and Nicki Minaj.
