ANINE BING is a Los Angeles-based global fashion house founded in 2012 by Danish designer Anine Bing and her husband Nicolai Bing. Built out of a Silver Lake garage and scaled through a highly engaged social-media audience, the brand pairs Scandinavian minimalism with American energy to make timeless wardrobe essentials - leather jackets, denim, knitwear, jewelry and accessories - sold direct-to-consumer online and through a growing network of global retail stores. Backed by Index Ventures, Greycroft and Felix Capital, ANINE BING has grown into a nine-figure business operating dozens of stores worldwide.
BYLT Basics is a Southern California premium apparel brand that reengineers everyday wardrobe staples - tees, polos, joggers and outerwear - with heavier, longer-lasting performance fabrics and tailored fits. Founded in 2016 by Eric Mear, who was frustrated that basic black T-shirts fell apart after a few washes, the direct-to-consumer label built its reputation on its flagship Drop-Cut silhouette and has grown into an omnichannel business spanning men's, women's and kids' lines sold online, in retail stores, and at wholesale partners like Nordstrom, shipping to over 50 countries.
