"I've always turned a keen eye to the unique styles and accessories associated with modern living," said Dr. Marcia Stone, Managing Partner of Erie Drive. "Style and design has always been a fascination of mine. After the sale of Hybrivet, I immediately turned my attention to making Erie Drive not simply a stylish online concept store, but a true model of modern living and lifestyle."
Stone has assembled a team of on-trend merchandising experts and design mavens, most notably Creative Director Alexandra Grenham.
"Alexandra is a true visionary," said Stone. "She is an expert in identifying and promoting emerging artists and trends. She truly relishes the opportunity to discover the formerly undiscovered."
Grenham will be responsible for the overall creative direction of Erie Drive. Under her discerning eye, this unique, constantly evolving collection will push the limits of conceptual style and design, weaving together a variety of fashions—both new and old—with functional products formerly defined exclusively by their faculty.
Erie Drive will launch globally on December 1st.
