LNA clothing was founded in 2007 by two California girls, Lauren Alexander and April Leight. The story goes like this: they were looking for the perfect t-shirt. With a focus on color, cut and material, the line naturally evolved.
Colors: Bright orange, cobalt blue, white, gray, black
Material: Cotton
Looks Loved
This season of LNA was much more back to basics and brighter than Fall's attempt at goth and over the top styling. Since the company is founded on their staples such as tees, it was a smart decision to again present it in simple form. My favorite was the white cowl/drape neck tee paired with the long skirt. Its effortless, yet stylish. I also loved the easy gray long t-shirt dress.
Unloved Looks
Love the tee dress. The second model's pants though, not so much.
I thought one model was wearing a cod piece. I'm not trying to be snarky. I really did do a double take, zoned in and studied her crotch only to find out that it was a pair of those strange harem hybrid sweats. Designers, we can stop with those any time now.
Music
Confession time. I hit the LNA presentation on the tail end when it was winding down and most guest were upstairs ready for the after party. I was also winding down as it was my last show of the day. I forgot to even give the music a listen.
People and Scene
LNA presentations are usually a low key and anti-snobbery crowd which makes it easy to walk around, snap pictures and see the new lines. It was at Milks Studios, minus last season's structural prom-esque back drops. Just plain old white studio walls, but it went well with the basics vibe. On the back wall, three screens hung where a video installation of LNA looks filled the screen.
To Gift or Not To Gift
Guests stood around with a signature LNA tote. I arrived to late and they were all gone. Last season's bag included a gray v-neck that I lived in ever since. I would be insanely bummed to find out that there was another awesomely comfy tee in there. I still have two t-shirts from my days at In Style magazine market appointments. One has been washed so much that i re-stitched the collar.
