Malbon Golf Skirts & Tops: A Shopper's Guide
Malbon is the Los Angeles golf label Stephen and Erica Malbon started in 2017, where the sport meets streetwear, art and a lot of color. I like it because it makes the course feel like somewhere you are invited, and this edit is the women's side of it.
MAJORELLE Dresses: Best Buys Right Now
MAJORELLE is the Los Angeles label Rachel Zeilic started in 2016, with travel, vintage references and a romantic, bohemian streak. I like clothes that already seem to know where they are going.
Luv Lou Sunglasses: The Best Frames Right Now
Luv Lou is the Sydney sunglasses label sisters Hayley and Jayde Hall started in 2018 from a shared stash of vintage frames. I like how it treats sunglasses as part of the outfit, and this edit is where I would begin.
Loungewear Under $150
Loungewear Under $150 is about clothes that make staying in feel intentional without turning the house into a costume department. The best loungewear is soft enough to live in, presentable enough for an unexpected doorbell, and simple enough that every piece can leave the sofa. I
Loro Piana Cashmere Knitwear: Sweaters, Cardigans and Coats
Loro Piana cashmere knitwear is the clearest way to understand the house, from embroidered sweaters to cable-knit cardigans. I go through the knits, coats and accessories, where the fabric does the talking.
LOBA Dresses: Lace, Color and Best Buys
LOBA is the ready-to-wear label Cindy Kimberly started in 2023, all lace, corsetry and floaty skirts. I like a label that allows a dress to be romantic and a little dramatic at once.
LNA Tops: Fit Notes, Fabric and Best Buys
LNA is the Los Angeles label that started with a very good T-shirt and kept the instinct. I like it for tops that look simple until you notice the sharp cut, the lace or the faux leather.
Lisa Says Gah Dresses and Tops: What I'd Buy First
Lisa Says Gah is the San Francisco label Lisa Bühler grew from an inspiration blog into a shop of dots, stripes and sweet prints. This edit is the tops and dresses I would reach for first, because they make me smile before I know the rest of the outfit.
Liquid Satin Dressing: Fluid Satin Skirts, Dresses and Tops
Liquid satin dressing means the heavy, fluid kind of satin, which has moved out of eveningwear and into the middle of the week. I show it as skirts, dresses and tops.
Line & Dot Dresses: The Pieces to Know
Line & Dot is a California dress label with a soft spot for feminine shapes and small details. I like how it mixes an easy base with a print or a sharper silhouette when the day calls for it.
Charo Ruiz Dresses
Charo Ruiz started out sewing dyed cotton trousers and t-shirts to sell from a beach stand in Ibiza in the 1970s, before formalizing the label in 1989 with the broderie anglaise and guipure lace silhouettes that still define it. The house stayed a family workshop through three decades, now run by her children Pablo and Paloma, producing everything from a base outside the island rather than chasing runway seasons. Its dresses and skirts read as a document of Ibiza's Adlib style, the 1970s movement that fused folk tailoring with hippie ease into all-white, all-cotton uniforms.
Les Vacances D'Irina: Mediterranean Holiday Dresses
Les Vacances D'Irina brings Mediterranean holiday dressing into everyday life through natural fabrics, sailor inspired details, and expressive accessories. Founder Irina Moroșanu built the label around a wicker basket found in a French flea market and a wish to revive the relaxed spirit of Mediterranean summers. This edit moves from the dresses to the separates to the small pieces that carry the holiday reference.
Le Superbe Tops: The Pieces Worth the Price
Le Superbe is the Los Angeles label that dresses the hour the city turns from beach to dinner. I admire a brand with this much wit, and this edit is the tops, skirts and dresses I would reach for first.
Lanvin Dresses: Turtleneck Midis, Gowns and Draped Jersey
Lanvin dresses range from embellished wool turtleneck midis to pleated charmeuse gowns and draped crepe-jersey styles. I start with the house's story, which began in Paris in 1889 with Jeanne Lanvin's small hat shop.
Ladylike Dressing Without the Rules
Ladylike dressing is back, but this time it comes with flat sandals, jeans and a lot less stiffness. New designers at Chanel, Dior and Celine have all revisited the idea, pairing tweed with flip-flops and satin trousers with sweatshirts. These four outfits bring that mix of polish and ease to everyday clothes.
L'Academie Dresses: The Pieces to Know
L'Academie is the Los Angeles dress and blouse label with a Parisian mood and a cool-girl creative director. I like how it dresses up without asking for a costume change.
La Ligne Sweaters: Stripes, Soft Knits, Wide-Legs and Dresses
La Ligne launched in 2016, founded by former Vogue editors Meredith Melling and Valerie Macaulay with Molly Howard, formerly of Rag & Bone. The brand began with a serious devotion to stripes, then widened the idea into polished everyday clothes with a distinctly New York ease. This edit follows that logic through soft knits, wide-leg trousers and dresses that know when to stop talking.
Kimberly Taylor Tops: A Shopper's Guide
Kimberly Taylor is a New York label of sleek silk, satin and sharp tailoring. I like it for clothes that look finished without trying very hard, and this is my edit of the tops, trousers and blazers.
Kim Shui Jackets & Dresses: What I'd Actually Buy
Kim Shui is the New York womenswear label that mixes brocade, lace and mesh with Chinese motifs and a lot of nerve. I keep thinking about the jackets and dresses, and what I would actually reach for.
Katie May Gowns: Which Dresses Are Worth It?
Katie May is the Los Angeles label that began with one open-back wedding gown and grew into bridesmaid and evening dresses. I love a dress with a good back, so this edit is my favorite gowns from the line.
Kallmeyer: Downtown New York Shirting, Trousers and Suits
Kallmeyer has been a downtown New York institution for over a decade and only recently became an industry one. Daniella Kallmeyer, born in South Africa and trained at London College of Fashion, worked at Alexander McQueen and Proenza Schouler before launching her label in 2012 at twenty five with about seven thousand dollars. Today it is a top brand across Phia and the industry
Joseph Ettedgui: The Knitwear Seller Behind the Joseph Label
Joseph Ettedgui started by selling Kenzo knitwear from the window of his London hair salon in the early 1970s, then launched his own ready-to-wear label under his name in 1983. Notes on the cashmere, tailoring and trousers that still run on the same instinct for shape over logos.
Jenny Packham Gowns: Sequin, Beaded and Crystal Evening Dresses
Jenny Packham gowns put beading and shine at the center of evening dressing, with dramatic silhouettes that let embellishment speak clearly.
Jeans Under $250
Jeans under two hundred fifty dollars are not really a bargain category if the fit makes you think about them all day. This edit is about choosing the leg shape and rise that give an outfit its line, from straight and wide styles to high-rise, relaxed and low-rise cuts. My rule i
