Dave Ball and Mari Gustafson created their own line of women’s wear in 1993 when they couldn’t find anything they truly wanted to wear. Luckily they had the design skills to make it. The Brooklyn-based duo focuses on minimalist silhouettes with prints that make the statement. Human connection is central to everything that Uzi does as brand. They relish the intimacy and raw creativity that comes from making things by hand for other people to love and live in. Look for hand-sewn, streamlined staples crafted out of natural fabrics such as cotton, wool and silk. Oversized silhouettes, boxy tees and flowy, comfy styles are this brand’s mainstays.
