Pink Polka Dot

Sharise Neil, designer and co-owner of Pink Polka Dot grew up in Orange County, California. As the only girl on her high school surf team she spent most of her time at the beach and in the ocean.

After high school she made her way to Los Angeles where she met and married Vince Neil, the lead singer of Motley Crue. The love of designing came to her while helping her then husband, design stage outfits and jackets for high profile magazine covers such as Rolling Stone. It was not long after that she was designing original pieces for upscale boutiques on Sunset Blvd.

In the 90’s, she designed an 80-piece line of swimsuits called “Exposed” which was cross-marketed with Vince’s solo album which was titled “Exposed.” When the seven-year marriage ended she took a break from designing and became one of Hollywood’s premier club promoters with the hottest guest list in town.

Sharise’s good friend Daniella Clark, who is married to Gilby from Gun’s and Roses, started her own line of ridiculously low waisted jean, which is now known as denim powerhouse Frankie B. “I loved them so much; I asked her if I could design some equally low panties to wear underneath.” A new star was born and Sharise named this company NA-NA. She introduced 10 pairs in her first collection and walked into Lisa Klein with them. Lisa’s first order was 80 pairs!!

Sharise Neil has since transitioned to her new company named Pink Polka Dot with partner Kirk Seigel; Pink Polka Dot is a denim friendly line of mostly tops and dresses for the sexpot in all of us! She says, “I consider my style, a little bit of surf and a ton of Rock N’ roll. I want to make women feel sophisticated and sexy when they wear my things. My philosophy is simple…show a little, hide a little.”

Just under two years old, Pink Polka Dot has sold over 10,000 dresses in the last year and is projecting to sell over 100,000 this year. Currently Pink Polka Dot is sold in over 400 stores across the US, Japan and Canada. Pink Polka Dot is also worn by some of Hollywood’s favorite starlets such as: Carmen Electra, Kate Hudson, Denise Richards, Kristen Cavalari, Heather Locklear and Fergie (London Bridge Video) just to name a few…
