The dynamic duo behind celebrity fashion favorite Naven shares their styling secrets with SheKnows.
Cut-outs, Animal Prints and Neon
From Katy Perry to Nicki Minaj, the daring pieces from twin designers Alexis and Kym McClay are quickly becoming a favorite with celebrity trendsetters.
"We’ve always been driven towards women who represent something bold," the ladies behind the Naven label told SheKnows.
"Blake Lively," the twins said in unison. "She’s definitely our style icon. We’re hoping we’ll see our styles in a few episodes [of Gossip Girl] this season."
“Blake Lively's definitely our style icon.„
With their flirty cut-out dresses, bright colored blazers and on trend two-toned pieces, we definitely could see our favorite Upper East Siders rocking these looks.
The business of fashion
Kym and Alexis look like they could be right out of the show as well. The stylish sisters have lived all over the globe, from L.A. to London, and know what’s hot in the world of fashion.
"I’ve always been really into fashion," Kym told SheKnows. "I kind of started my own sewing factory in high school."
Alexis runs the business side of things, but they both do so much more than production. The sisters are also the faces of the line.
"We just did our bathing suit shoot in Cabo San Lucas," they said. "At the end of working really hard, it’s fun to just let go and do the fun stuff."
“We’re best friends... we’re inseparable.„
Working together
And the best part… is getting to do all of this with your BFF.
"We’re always together," said the twins. "We’re best friends. We live together, hang out together, we’re inseparable."

Their style is incredible and so wearable! I love the do or don't tips at the bottom. Cargo pants are ALWAYS a no! And boots can be worn all year round, you just have to have the right boot.
