How Dare to Fly Fashion Started

Dare To FLY Fashion by Jen Toplak, was launched late 2015 after company founder and designer Jen Toplak created the iconic Chicks FLY t-shirt for the International Organization of Woman Pilots to collect funds for aviation scholarships. The tee became an international fashion “must have” and Jen soon spun off her new line of shirts and hats to satisfy customer demand for new designs.

Jen Toplak’s talent as an artist, her keen eye for aesthetics and knowledge as an instrument rated pilot guides her to create interesting, edgy and fun designs that are stylish and sophisticated for the chic and modern pilot who wants to showcase his or her passion for aviation and inspire others to learn to fly.

In keeping with her philanthropic ways, a percentage of all proceeds go to aviation scholarships.
