Question 1: When did you first fall in love with fashion?
Reply: We both really start falling in love with fashion in middle school. We started out just designing for ourselves.
Question 2: When did your brand start?
Reply: The brand launched in 2004. After people started seeing the pieces we created for ourselves, it was highly requested so we just started a line.
Question 3: What do you want people to say when they see your clothes?
Reply: It’s not so much what they say but more so what they feel. We want peoples eyes to light up and just be wowed by it. Whether it’s the colors, the material, etc.
Question 4: Who is your target buyer?
Reply: A lot of teens and young adults really connect with the style of Jeantrix but we’ve had older people wanting to wear it to so it’s a line for everyone.
Question 5: What or who inspired you to begin the line??
Reply: I really can’t think of 1 particular thing but I know we inspired each other back when we first started. We feed off of each others creativity but I mean you always have the magazines,sites etc.
Question 6: Where did you get the name from?
Reply: 1 night we were just brainstorming. Back then we just created jeans for the most part. So it was like our “jeans” were doing “tricks” but we spelled it “trix”. Corny I know. haha
Question 7: Where are you from?

FACTORY824Special Word from
Jeantix:
Thanks you so much for the interview! Everyone make sure you check us out at www.Jeantrixclothingco.blogspot.com
uly believe in self expression,they are not afraid to be different,and they dare others to be different as well. Having such an Editorial look,you can find their looks on MANY celebrities and in MANY magazines. They went from just two kids designing for themselves in middle school,to others noticing,wanting to wear their clothes,and Tadaaa "Jeantrix" was created in 2004. Jeantrix wants to WOW people and as they said in the Q&A they want to, " take it back to when fashion was fun. When you think about it, it seems as if he 80’s was the future of fashion more than today. They really took risks. We want to take it back to that." Well they are most definitely "taking it back",so keep your eyes open,stay tuned, because I know this duo has more "Trix" up their sleeves.
