About The Styler Makers
Dorian Web
Growing up on the edge of the Pine Barrens in south Jersey, designer Dorian Webb always thought that creating something would be her profession. Her parents who were not keen on having their daughter lay idle on the couch on Saturdays, were not dissuaded when piano, horseback riding, tennis and dance lessons failed to ignite interest or latent talent. Now, Dorian is one of the west coast’s leading designers and entrepreneurs, with awards commemorating her design skills and community advocacy.
While studying abroad in Florence, Italy as an architecture student at Yale University, Dorian fell in love with the process of making Venetian glass beads. To her, these colorful, gilded orbs represented all that she loved about her time in Italy: the strong connection to local community and ancestral heritage and the unfailing belief that whatever profession you choose, your work can reflect your ideals in process and outcome. This has become Dorian Webb’s trademark—a signature style that incorporates traditional techniques, bold silhouettes, sophisticated color palettes, dynamic compositions and subtle textures combined to foster connection.
Lesley Evers
Born in Oakland, California, Lesley Evers discovered her love of sewing at age eleven and never looked back. After growing up in Charlotte, North Carolina and earning a degree in architecture from the University of Pennsylvania, she returned to California in 1996 and made the Bay Area home.
In 2008, Lesley officially launched her namesake clothing line out of a deep love for making beautiful, wearable things—especially dresses. What began as a small operation has grown into a thriving business with a devoted team and a loyal following. Based in Oakland, her brand is known for its bold prints, flattering silhouettes, and joyful spirit.
