"Erin Darby and Ana Maria Henao created Smart is Cool (SIC) a line of tees with pro-woman messages on them"

Glamour Magazine - July 2008

A Smart Revolution

Founded on the belief that "SMART IS COOL", designers/partners Erin Darby and Ana Maria Henao have created a collection of tees to fill the need for something smart and powerful in every girl's wardrobe. Frustrated and tired of the tees that dumb girls down SIC vows to send a positive message reaffirming that Smart really is Cool.

SIC's summer collection was inspired by the simple beauty of words. By hand silk -screening obscure words, their definitions and unique graphics on to the clean white canvas of delicate V neck burnout tees and white tank tops SIC's message is powerful and clear.

Are you Lionhearted? (courageous)
Do you believe in Kismet? (fate,destiny)
Have you ever had a Sui Generis experience? (one of a kind)
Has anyone given you a Mellifluous compliment? (sweet sounding)
Have some of your friends shown you their Nefarious ways? (extremely wicked)
Have Hope and Faith in the future and spread Peace and Love to all you know.
