Laurie founded ozone design in 2000. She strongly believed that socks were one of the only items untouched by fashion.
“Ozone Design is devoted entirely to putting fashion and fun into socks and tights. Amazingly, they were still looked upon as undergarments.” Laurie’s goal was to bring spirit and passion to one of the most intimate and neglected parts of our wardrobe. “For too long the sock has been ignored by the world of fashion and we’re going to change that.”
During the past ten years Ozone has set the benchmarks for what’s cool and hip in footwear. “There have been more innovative and new design concepts that have come out of Ozone than any other sock company in history.” The list is impressive: shoe socks, safe sox, hemp socks, radionic socks, tattoo socks, motorcycle socks, the replacement sock, etc.
Laurie still has her heart embedded in the art world. Ozone makes socks for many of the world’s famous museums. Laurie worked closely with Christo during The Gates project and developed the highly successful “Gates sock” sold during the event.
Ozone socks are sold around the world and through a network of two thousand stores in America.
A recent men’s vogue article sums it up:
“When Mallet talks about her dreams for socks, people often ask her what all the fuss is about. Most of the time no one can see your socks anyway. 'Fashion is something you do for yourself,' says Mallet. 'Of course, when other people get a glimpse, that is exciting. But I prefer the idea that socks are your secret weapon.'"

Living somewhere it gets cold, you know socks are a must. Printed socks can be super fun, but Ozone socks are great. I love the prints they come in, and the socks are comfortable as can be. Very thin, so your feet don't sweat but also durable enough that I haven't worn through them in the many times I've warn them.
Plus the best thing, they aren't plain socks they have fabulous designs, and that makes them that much more special. Just look at some of these awesome designs...
Scandinavian Free Form in Navy
These are my favorite socks, and the pair I own. I've been told the o's look like the oakley symbol. They really are awesome and although the $20 price tag is a little steep they might actually be well worth it.
Some of my other favorites are
