Ozone Design’s new line of marine socks has boaters racing to get them on their feet.  Ozone Marine, debuting at the 2007 New York National Boat Show, is the brainchild of Laurie Mallet, President and CEO of Ozone Design Inc., the innovator of the hottest line of fashion socks around.

“Ozone Marine was a natural for us. My husband and I are long time collectors of nautical tattoo flash. We introduced our first marine tattoo socks 3 years ago and they have been a huge success,” said Laurie who has always been a trendsetter in the fashion industry. Her first company Willi Wear was a worldwide success and pioneered the combination of art and fashion.

“My husband, a long time yachtsman conceived of the idea after attending last year’s boat show… we are either taking off our shoes when boarding or we are asking our guests to do the same,” Laurie continued,  “It would be great to have some cool socks on our feet.”

“When we introduced our shoe socks years ago they were an immediate hit with the boating fraternity. Having shoes knitted into the socks made us extremely popular both on boats and in Japanese restaurants. They did not however make us popular at airport security checkpoints.”

The new line includes: Compass Rose, Anchors, Props, Deck Shoes and British Sailor Stripes.
