Early life.
Born in Staten Island, New York, Dee and Ricky began creating their first custom pieces in the 9th grade. The twins started making accessories at age 15 with their grandmother, a seamstress. They would fiddle with her sewing machine and embroider designs onto their clothes, soon catching the attention of their peers. 
Surrounded by flashy drugs dealers and skate kids, the street wear culture and lifestyle became their main source of design inspiration. These designs became increasingly popular as street wear started gaining commercial momentum. Dee and Ricky had their first major collaboration with Marc Jacobs in 2008 during New York Fashion Week. Since then they have collaborated with brands including Casio, Nike, Pony International and Pepsi to create accessories and video games, selling in retailers such as Barney's, Bloomingdales, and Colette Paris.
Products and collaborations.
Dee and Ricky's designs have been worn by Questlove, Kanye West, Rihanna, Beyoncé Knowles, and Kid Cudi. They have pursued collaborations with brands such as Joyrich and Converse. Their body of work includes deconstructed Lego hearts, bulletproof teddy bears made out of Kevlar and canvas, Christian Louboutin look-alike skateboard decks, cheetah print crowbar and plush boxing gloves to a gold-dipped grenade.

Philanthropy.
