Why
we love Woo
Woo
is an Azaleas favorite because it represents our
store philosophy: soft-to-the-touch, special pieces
that can be worn both inside and out.
About the designer, Staci Woo
After
graduating from the University of California, Santa
Barbara with a degree in art, California native
Staci Woo jumped right into the fashion industry
working at a local swimwear company. In 1995 she
began working as assistant designer to Adriano
Goldschmied (pioneer of Diesel denim, Lucky, and Big
Star). While working for the denim demigod, Staci
started making bags for friends and family until Woo
was launched in 1997. Always
evolving, Staci then developed her collection of the
perfect everyday innerwear-slash-outerwear. The
mantra of Underwoo (as it came to be called) is
"Comfort, cool, quality", using the
softest supima cottens and tencels paired with
elegant french lace and pretty prints. Proof of her
collection's absolute softness: her latest endeavor
is Little Woo, a children's clothing line. Woo's
casual luxe style is a favorite among celebrities
such as Lucy Liu, Jennifer Aniston, Charlize Theron,
Kete Hudson, Meg Ryan, Cameron Diaz and Mischa
Barton. In
response to Hurricane Katrina, Staci created a line
of jazz-themed t-shirts that benefit Habitat for
Humanity in New Orleans.
