Lorick

The mastermind behind Lorick is Abigail Lorick. Born on Amelia Island, Florida, Abigail knew the South couldn’t contain her. At the age of 18, she moved to Paris and Milan to model for designers such as Alberta Ferretti and Mossimo while appearing in acclaimed magazines French C’osmopolitan, American Elle and American Harper’s Bazaar. Working as a model only enhanced her love of fashion and led her to move in 2003, to New York City to study at the Fashion Institute Of Technology while working simultaneously at T.S. Dixin. By 2004, Abigail was designing T.S. Dixin’s entire collection. After proving her vision over a few seasons, Abigail’s production manager in India, Verma Singh, approached her to create a collection of her own. Quickly thereafter in the Spring of 2007, she conceptualized and launched the Lorick brand.

The Pink Agenda

The Pink Agenda is a not-for-profit 501(c) (3) organization committed to raising money for breast cancer care and research and awareness of the disease among young professionals. The organization’s efforts are intended to not only expedite the eventual discovery of a cure for the disease, but to raise awareness among young professionals, resulting in earlier detection, as well as an understanding of where to go for support and resources if ever faced with a breast cancer diagnosis. The Pink Agenda was founded by Marisa Renee Lee in 2007, two years after her mother, Lisa Mae Lee, was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic breast cancer. Although the disease claimed Lisa’s life on February 28, 2008, the courage she showed during her battle with breast cancer continues to inspire The Pink Agenda’s efforts to engage today’s generation to find tomorrow’s cure.
