Both Rows was founded by Britney "Nerd" Epps in 2022 as more than just a brand—it was born from an idea, a logo, and a powerful mission: to live as many moments as possible with both rows of teeth showing. Britney's smile journey began with fixing her smile to cover the bottom row, but in moments of complete joy and excitement, she can't help but reveal all her teeth. Both Rows symbolizes those moments of pure, uncontainable happiness. Yet, life isn't just about being happy; it's about experiencing all emotions, so when happiness comes, it hits even harder. The concept behind Both Rows is that happiness isn’t just about the feeling of joy but about understanding and embracing all emotions to find your way back to happiness.

Both Rows as a collection and a community draws inspiration from everyday Black experiences. It aims to use upcycled fabric to create classic silhouettes and unique pieces, striving to be part of the solution to fabric waste rather than contributing to the problem. Both Rows and Nerd believe in exclusivity without being exclusionary, meaning the brand doesn’t produce large drops but instead focuses on delivering unique pieces accessible to everyone.

Nerd learned to sew through a combination of YouTube tutorials, guidance from friends, and the expertise of her seamstress, who had been bringing her visions to life for years. As a software developer, Nerd applied her technical skills to fashion design, understanding the intricate details necessary for someone to truly love the clothes they wear. This journey represents the evolution of Nerd's fashion sense, blending both masculine and feminine elements to create something truly special.

Both Rows is more than just a brand; it’s a journey—one that embraces growth, creativity, and the pursuit of happiness. We invite you to join us on this path, where every piece tells a story, and every story is a step closer to living life with both rows of teeth showing.
