When I was a kid I had a pair of striped socks that I referred to as my Zebra socks. Ozone Socks are created with fun in mind. Stripes just seem to make me smile and keep me happy.
Lauri Mallet created Ozone Socks because she felt that socks were being left out of the fashion world. Lauri grew up in Paris France and of course gained several bits of fashion history.
From the Ozone Socks Website:
Laurie founded ozone design in 2000. She strongly believed that socks were one of the only items untouched by fashion.“Ozone Design is devoted entirely to putting fashion and fun into socks and tights. Amazingly, they were still looked upon as undergarments.” Laurie’s goal was to bring spirit and passion to one of the most intimate and neglected parts of our wardrobe. “For too long the sock has been ignored by the world of fashion and we’re going to change that.”During the past seven years Ozone has set the benchmarks for what’s cool and hip in footwear. “There have been more innovative and new design concepts that have come out of Ozone than any other sock company in history.” The list is impressive: shoe socks, safe sox, hemp socks, radionic socks, tattoo socks, motorcycle socks, the replacement sock, etc. Laurie still has her heart embedded in the art world. Ozone makes socks for many of the world’s famous museums. Laurie worked closely with Christo during The Gates project and developed the highly successful “Gates sock” sold during the event. Ozone socks are sold around the world and through a network of two thousand stores in America.A recent men’s vogue article sums it up:“When Mallet talks about her dreams for socks, people often ask her what all the fuss is about. Most of the time no one can see your socks anyway. 'Fashion is something you do for yourself,' says Mallet. 'Of course, when other people get a glimpse, that is exciting. But I prefer the idea that socks are your secret weapon.'
So the next time you are looking for great socks that are fashionable, cute and fun think of Ozone Socks
