Enterprise of the Year
Oceanform
This crew uniform company was founded by former crew Julie Dahl Joergensen and William Nicholson who recognized a gap in the market — uniforms that look like formalwear but feel like sportswear and perform like workwear. As crew, they were frustrated by uniforms that were outdated and uncomfortable — and they thought they could do something better.
Their innovations included an industry first: integrated shorts in dresses. In design and development, they worked to integrate the latest textile technologies. Their uniforms are also customizable in length and diverse in size. ocean-form.com
