North America (Rancho Dominguez, Calif.) as the two newest additions to the
rapidly growing licensing roster for Franky & Minx®, the unique, alternative

Franky & Minx is a New York-based lifestyle brand, built around the alternative
rock and roll lifestyles of Heidi Minx and her tattoo artist partners. Founded
by Minx in response to the lack of authentic alternative brands on the market
today, Franky & Minx does not fall into the confines of a limited niche
market; it touches a wide audience that relates to the art, designs and personalities
behind the brand. Other Franky & Minx licensees include Aquarius, Concept1,
Freeze, Logotel, and MjC. To learn more about Heidi Minx and Franky &
Minx Inc., visit the company's official website (www.frankyandminx.com).
"Both Winplus and Trends are fast-growing leaders within their respective
industries, so we are thrilled to be partnering with them to create and offer
great Franky & Minx products appealing not only to those who have or enjoy
tattoo art but also to the broader and growing audience of those attuned to
the alternative rock 'n roll lifestyle that Heidi and the Franky & Minx
brand represent," says Postal.
