“ Their line originated in the childhood dreams of sisters… the Beckermans remain an industrious team” Eric Wilson, The New York Times.Beckerman’s aesthetic of colorful innovation and whimsical chic brings a downtown point of view to contemporary American fashion. Their luxurious, highly detailed clothes have a sense of humor to them. The Beckerman’s strong point of view mixes high craft, feminine details and a sense of street style.Twins Caillianne and Samantha and younger sister Chloe Beckerman grew up in Toronto, Canada, and together they spent their childhood days immersed in art, learning how to sew, illustrate and dance. Their grandmother owned a knitting store and taught them how to knit, paint and sculpt. Their hippy cool parents taught them the importance of being vegetarian, being open to endless possibilities, and designing like free spirits.At New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology, the Beckermans immersed themselves in the fashion world, each sister studying in an area reflecting their own personal strengths. Caillianne studied Fashion Design, Samantha studied Accessories Design and Chloe studied Textile/Surface Design. They create their own original textiles each season to express their sensibility in their own distinctive manner. The design trio has been celebrated for their fun approach to fashion and for their originality. “The Beckermans, who pride themselves on originality, may have come along at just the right time in the fashion world,” states Sarah Childress in her Newsweek article on the design team.Before launching Beckerman, the sisters apprenticed at such notable houses as Oscar de la Renta, Bottega Veneta, Marc for Marc Jacobs and Randolph Duke.Beckerman made its debut when the sisters’ thesis graduation collection from FIT, which won the Elle Girl Magazine Scholarship Award, was featured in Nylon magazine. A famous Tokyo department store purchased their entire thesis collection which launched their careers! Today, the three sisters continue to infuse their infinite ideas and dreams into womenswear, jewelry and handbag collections. Twenty percent of the proceeds from their jewelry line is donated to the Stephen Lewis Foundation in support of Aids relief.Beckerman has been the subject of a four-part series on Newsweek.com, documenting the growth of a young and successful fashion business. They were hailed by the New York Times and on Style.com as the "must see" show of the season. It’s not surprising that Beckerman have garnered a celebrity following: Sienna Miller, Lindsay Lohan, Rachel Bilson, Agyness Deyn, Daria Werbowy and Paris Hilton. Beckerman has been featured in the following media: Newsweek Magazine, The New York Times, Style.com, Vogue, WWD, Teen Vogue, Time Out New York, Nylon, Paper Magazine, The Village Voice, Fashion Wire Daily, The New York Post, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Full Frontal Fashion, E! Talk Daily, Fashion File, and Fashion Television among others.Beckerman Spring 2009MTV'S SUCHIN PAK IN BECKERMANavlays |
