About the Brands

Zang Toi- After Zang Toi established the, “House of Toi” collection in New York in 1989, Zang was awarded the 1990 Mouton Cadet Young Designer of the Year award, which recognizes the top young US designer of the year. Over the years, his design has evolved from the bright and decadent of the 1990s to the timeless yet modern lines of the turn of the country. No matter what the trend, Zang Toi creations are chic and glamorous, always highlighting the beauty of the female form.

The Brungers- “The Brungers” was established by Sally and Andrew Brunger, founders of KolDesign, as a brand extension to their already popular bath and body line, Kol. Having specialized in products developed for men, their turned their eye toward apparel, creating knitwear for men made in Peru of Alpaca and Pima cotton. With a focus on fine detailing, bold color statements and a European fit, Sally and Andrew Brunger launched “The Brungers” in Fall 2009 in specialty stores and boutiques. They will also be offering a limited line of Sally Randall Brunger’s jewelry –semi-precious stones and leather inspired by tribal and Etruscan jewelry, for men and women.

Wendy Brandes- Wendy Brandes is strongly influenced by the stories of fascinating women, whether they lived in the 16th century or the Swinging '60s. She creates pieces that are bold and eye-catching, yet feminine and organic. Mechanical pieces that open and close, unscrew or twist are her specialties. Wendy received editorial in several major fashion magazines.

OX kids- Launched by founder and creative director Caroline Cameron in early 2008. OX kids brings the aesthetic of eco friendly design to the world of children. The cotton is so soft that it has the feel of downy silk but with the sturdiness of cotton. Consistent with the ethos of OX kids, the cotton collection is offered in a palette of soft shades created from low impact dyes that both compliment baby's skin and appeal to the modern parents.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
