Cary Vaughan and Jenna Wilson joke that they must have met one another in a past life. The designers behind Ace + Jig became fast friends as interns at the now-defunct label Language, and eventually moved up to become assistant designers. When the line folded in 2004, the duo moved on to the contemporary brand LaRok as creative directors. After three years at the fast-paced, trendy line left them feeling burnt out, they knew it was time to take some time off to regroup creatively. They served as each other's bridesmaids, had their first children, and then launched womenswear brand Ace + Jig in 2010.
Named after their children (Vaughan's daughter Alice's initials spell out Ace, Wilson's son James's spell Jig), the affordable collection of loosely cut tops, pants, and jackets for women was first picked up by Steven Alan. After years of doing one-offs for their close friends and family, Vaughan and Wilson decided to launch a children's line this summer. The cute and comfy kids' clothes will go for $60 for pants to over $100 for dresses at hip spots like Sweet William in Brooklyn. The Cut caught up with Vaughan just before the women left for India to talk friendship, motherhood, and why kids' clothes should never be fussy. Read on, and click below to see the kids' collection, as modeled by the designers' kids.
