APPAREL: Stone Cold Fox in boutiques; dresses going for $600
Laguna Beach-based clothing designer Stone Cold Fox is the work of 24-year-old best friends who draw inspiration from styles and eras from well before they were born.
Cydney Morris and Dallas Wand started out making clothes for friends. They formed a business last year after getting some interest from boutiques.
"We didn't expect to have our own studio," Wand said.
Stone Cold Fox is small, with estimated yearly sales of less than $l million. It's generated a buzz among some boutiques for its clothes for young women.
The company makes lacy tops, gowns, knitted wraps and other clothes. They have a decidedly 1970s vibe - think Stevie Nicks. Morris and Wand also draw inspiration from the Old West, gypsies, foreign films and vintage clothes.
Clients
Stone Cold Fox clothes sell in Santa Monica-based Planet Blue, which has a few stores in Southern California, and at Elyse Walker in Pacific Palisades, Westerly Boutique in Corona del Mar, Patina in Costa Mesa and Stanton James of Beverly Hills, among others.
