"  While road-tripping through west Texas in 2008 on their thirtieth birthdays, Starr Hout and Laura Cramer (they&amp;#039;re born a day apart) dreamed of an uncluttered life with a downsized wardrobe that could transcend age\u2014they and their grandmothers could wear it\u2014and last a lifetime. Apiece Apart was born. The friends&amp;#039; line of invigoratingly simple separates fills the wardrobe void both of them had seen as working girls in Manhattan (Cramer as an art director and Hout as a designer of her own namesake line). &amp;quot;Neither of us felt comfortable buying anything other than vintage pieces or budget-breaking designer,&amp;quot; Hout says. &amp;quot;We aimed to elevate simplified shapes in luxurious fabrics.&amp;quot; The result? The perfect high-waisted trouser, floor-length tankdress, and cropped blazer, all available in buttery silks and cotton gauze in the duo&amp;#039;s David Hockney\u2013inspired palette of mint, hunter green, hot orange, light yellow, pale pink, and deep khaki. &amp;quot;The fact that women wear their clothing for just one season before it&amp;#039;s out-of-date is perverse,&amp;quot; Cramer says. &amp;quot;We want to create something with longevity and honor. Women deserve that in their lives.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
