BOYY accessories is the partnered creation of designers Jesse Dorsey
and Wannasiri Kongman.
Jesse Dorsey, born and raised in Montreal, Canada, moved to NYC to
pursue his burgeoning music career in 1993.
Hitting the ground running – working with artists such as the Beastie
Boys and Milla Jovovich, scoring music for Cirque
du Soleil, having his signature music featured in award-winning
feature films and DJing NYC's hot spots - Jesse gained
much exposure to the inner sanctums of the entertainment, music and
fashion industries, absorbing their creative pulse
like a sponge.
Wannasiri Kongman, born and raised in Bangkok, Thailand, received her
degree in journalism before her talent
for style started quickly pushing her on her way. She was picked up
as a buyer for the first ever teen division of one
of Thailand’s top department stores, “Central”. And in 2003, the pull
of big dreams and the big unknown prompted
her to pack up her bags and move to the US. After a stint in DC, her
creative urges and undying love and interest for
fashion brought her to NYC’s Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT)
where she studied fashion design.
Jesse and Wannasiri met in NYC in 2004 and soon thereafter began
their creative collaboration. The two exercised
their ideas, philosophies and ambitions for 6 months before launching
BOYY's first collection - Spring/Summer ‘06.
Jesse and Wannasiri now navigate the globe, spending their time and
finding inspiration between NYC, Bangkok and Italy.
