NEW YORK NEW YORK: Ozone Socks


 
Ozone socks. Ozone socks are a greatly regarded “secret” they are hip and cool and are highly in demand with the In crowd.  Creating Ozone Design, CEO and founder Laurie Mallet strongly believed that socks were one of the only items untouched by fashion.
  “Ozone Design is devoted entirely to putting fashion and fun into socks and tights. Amazingly, socks, at the time, were still looked upon as undergarments.” she explains, her goal was to bring spirit and passion to one of the most intimate and neglected parts of our wardrobe. 

The Sock Monkeys.   The Sock Monkeys are made with Ozone socks by volunteers at Fresh Art, a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide expanded, personal development and entrepreneurial opportunities to New York city artists with special needs.
