Curator

"We founded Curator in 2005, motivated by our mutual love of clothing and working together. Our friendship has always inspired creative collaborations that pushed new ideas and missions forward."

Deirdre Nagayama and Stacy Rodgers met on a soccer field at 16 years old, where they discovered that they ran at the exact same pace—ahead of the pack. When they ended up picking the same college in San Diego, they grew even closer—living and “getting ready” together for over 10 years. Sharing a love of thrift store shopping and making things from their home—from photoshoots to silkscreening t-shirts—they grew a kindred understanding of clothing, and a love for working together.

Nagayama and Rodgers create apparel for the important days of your life, the ones where you want your best friend standing beside you. They hope their clothes become your favorite pieces to pull out of your close, and that you feel the joy that went into making them every time you wear them.

While Nagayama and Rodgers were drawn to a lot of the same clothing, they noticed early on that their bodies couldn’t be more different. Because of this, fit is one of the guiding principles behind all of their garments. They design clothes to fit a wide range of bodies, and when they make a piece that works on both of them, they know they've got something magical. They source hardworking fabrics and choose shapes that flatter. The goal of each Curator piece is to make you feel powerful and uninterrupted in your day. Clothes that are easy to wash, wear, and support all of your pursuits.
