The elusive soul of Los Angeles.

Living in Los Angeles does something to you. It is not just the sunshine, the laurel green landscapes, or the dry downslope winds, it's a combination that takes up so much space in your imagination that it can only ever feel half real. Somewhere in the vastness, where one can find places of solitude and restraint, can the real sense of oneself in Los Angeles be found. Though the inspiration is free flowing from the sun-drenched deserts on the East, to the industrial Ventura on the North, to the empty beach parking lots just on the other side of the airport; the soul of Los Angeles is complicated and beautiful. Finding temperance in a world of glittering ambition is one of the driving forces behind this Pre-Fall collection.

Pre-Fall has a noticeably desaturated color palette, featuring new muted neutral tones like dove, nude, almond, ocean, stucco and terra cotta. I experimented with lace pleating that is seen throughout, along with new suiting silhouettes that comprise detachable lace detailing. Structured cotton canvas fabrics and utility top stitching add layers of modern ease and structural elegance from beginning to end.

Living against the beautiful backdrop of Los Angeles' Canyons, the shadowed palm tree lined streets, the history within each boulevard, the art deco storefronts, you begin feeling like life is in analog film. Finding a relaxed sense of self and solitude in the unexpected places within the city's vastness is what I continue to gravitate to and which led me down this design path for the Pre-Fall collection.
