Sisters Nicole and Felicia Chang are the designers behind many celebrity looks in recent years.
They created ball gowns for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour and Jennifer Lopez's Golden Globes dress.

Designers Nicole and Felicia Chang are taking over the fashion industry, one celebrity outfit at a time.

The creative sister duo got started in 2015, founding their namesake company in Taiwan. Since then, Nicole + Felicia has become a go-to brand for celebrities around the world — Taylor Swift and Jennifer Lopez included.

The designers have also made strides in the wedding world, with a Nicole + Felicia collection at Kleinfeld that brides covet.

Speaking with Business Insider, Nicole Chang explained how the brand has worked with Hollywood, the impact of the bridal industry on its designs, and the inspirations behind nine of Nicole + Felicia's most stunning looks.

Nicole + Felicia designs are all over red carpets, magazines, and even the Eras Tour.
