History

Jennifer D'Angelo founded Nooworks in 2004, initially operating as a small-scale screen-printing project in San Francisco. The brand transitioned into a full cut-and-sew operation, gaining recognition for its collaborative model with independent illustrators. It occupies a specific niche in fashion history by bridging the gap between wearable art and functional apparel. The company maintains domestic manufacturing standards, contributing to the mid-2000s resurgence of independent, artist-led retail in the United States.
