Our Story

Founded in 2014, Unexpected was born from the belief that clothing should speak of personality and values. Rooted in a streetwear-inspired aesthetic that is both relaxed and energetic, we design original prints that go beyond style and express spirit.
Our logo, crafted from ten letters in Chicano-inspired typography, forms the shape of an abstract, untamed flower. It symbolizes fearlessness, freedom, inner peace, and fullness. It reflects the life we hope to inspire through every piece.
We are Erica and Nemo, two women with very different personalities but one shared vision. Erica is bold, extroverted, and fueled by intense sports like martial arts. Nemo is quiet, composed, and meticulous, often happiest doing absolutely nothing. Despite our differences, we have always shared a deep connection through fashion. Most importantly, we agree on one thing: clothing is emotional. The right outfit can shift your mindset, give you strength, and change how you show up in the world.
That is why Unexpected creates for women who move between workouts, work, and the unpredictable turns of life. Our designs are made to empower. Through striking prints and intentional color choices, we speak without words of growth, ambition, self-love, and power. When you wear Unexpected, you wear energy.
Our pieces are made to last, not just in quality but in meaning. They carry memories of the challenges you have overcome, the moments you showed courage, and the quiet victories you claimed. Every time you put them on, you reconnect with that strength.
Unexpected is not just what we wear. It is who we are: wild, grounded, and ever growing.
