Andrea Bernholtz launched this leather and denim brand with designer Michael Ball in 2002. Amid a sea of blues, Rock & Republic has developed a cult following, becoming one of the most recognizable names (and pockets) in the jean-sphere. The brand has expanded with a full ready-to-wear collection, as well as beauty, eyewear, handbags, maternity, and shoe lines, and has plans for its first three freestanding stores in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and New York.
