Inspired by the retro Americana sold in their shop, they began to sell and then manufacture their own line of fashion eyewear. Thus was born the iconic Shady Character label which included the ultra coveted James Dean eyewear collection.
By the mid Eighties, the enterprising pair expanded into accessories,
pajamas, and boxer shorts under the apt label ShadowBoxer.
To avoid confusion with another boxer brand, Abrams and Tepper renamed their fashion startup Nick & Nora®, paying homage to the high society sleuths Nick & Nora Charles of Dashiell Hammett's novel, The Thin Man.
As the brand was becoming a lifestyle brand through the strategic vision of Abrams, Target approached Abrams and Tepper in 2004 with the opportunity to expand Nick & Nora® to a broader audience. An agreement that was initially set up to last two years ended up lasting a extremely productive twelve years.
"Ultimately, it doesn't matter whether you impress a retailer, a distributor or a licensee. What matters is impressing the CUSTOMER . It's the customer who sees the kind of quality we produce, the integrity behind our designs, and the creative thought that went into our brand."

As Dorothy Globus Twining

Under the watchful supervision of Steven Abrams, Nick & Nora® strategically aligned itself to license its vast library of print designs to expand the brand beyond its sleepwear and loungewear roots.
This approach turned Nick & Nora ® into a lifestyle brand with products developed for the home, kitchen, bath, bedding, dinnerware and children's sleepwear categories.
According to Abrams:"People love our prints so much that they want to sleep in them, on them, have them in their kitchen or bathrooms. The move from sleepwear to home and housewares was a natural extension. People want our designs around them."
Nick & Nora eventually encompassed Terry cloth robes, cosmetic and travel accessories, Silk loungewear, paper goods and party ware, casual women footwear and slippers, toddlers and children's daywear. In addition the brand fluidly bridge into: Bedding (including knit and woven flannel sheets, duvet covers, comforters, blankets and pillowcases); Kitchen (including tablecloths, napkins, placemats, kitchen towels, oven mitts,aprons, and floor mats); Bath (including shower curtains, bath towels, laundry bags, closet and laundry room products). A ceramic dinnerware and stoneware along with a casual dinnerware for kids and adults were also developed.
