The Kissue aesthetic is a balance of modern and sophistication. Dress prices range from $44 to $96, with a wide variety of styles; short and flirty, long and flowing, but all with a few eye-catching details to make them special. Kissue also stocks a selection of shorts--a garment many women find challenging, but which are essential to surviving a Houston summer. If you want to move beyond your basic J. Crew tailored short, but you're scared to leave your comfort zone, Kailey and Kaygen can help. Not only do they offer shorts with cool details like lace peek-a-boo cut outs and contrast piping, they are happy to help you style them. "We love interacting with customers," said Kailey. "We want to make sure customers are comfortable and confident in our clothes, which are 'edgy'--but that's the fun part! Customers email us with questions about styling, and we love helping them." Sizing is also important, said Kaygen, who explained, "We go for true-to-fit sizing, and we even have pieces with looser sizing" so customers can feel more confident in the shopping process, even before they try the shorts on. The sisters recommend pairing shorts that are a little outside your comfort zone with comfy pieces, like your favorite tank or t-shirt, and layering long cardigans that go beyond the hem of the short for a modern look.

As for their future in Houston? Kailey and Kaygen are firm in their desire to stay in the bourgeoning Houston fashion scene. Some of their reasons are practical in nature. "Staying local will help us stay hands-on, and of course there is a cost benefit," said Kaygen. It's the opportunity to get a foothold in a new, growing market that convinced them not to take their show on the road to a city like New York, where Kailey spent the last year-and-a-half learning the business in various designers' corporate offices. "The fashion market in Houston is growing," said Kailey. "It's about to really boom, and staying local is a way to show people what Houston really has to offer."
