While I was in LA, I had the opportunity to visit one of Free People's designers that used to design for
FP Beach
and now purely creates a collection from LA, right out of her Echo Park
home. It goes without saying that her style oozes the laid back, cool
LA vibe, but it has a twist… leaving you curious for more. There’s
always a story behind each piece of clothing she owns, you just know
there’s something unique about what she is wearing.
I walked into her closet space with her, the bright LA sun glowing
through her window. “I love LOVE rail stripes right now” and then she
throws down her favorite pieces on her bed for me to get a feeling for
her fixation. She’s the type of girl that gets drawn to clothes more if
they have history or a unique aesthetic detail behind them, not so much
a designer name. She’s a passionate soul, a beautiful person intrigued
by everything around her. A couple of hours in her company and you feel
like you’ve drifted into another world that’s carefree, carefully
executed, and cool. Here we show you her style, enjoy!
These railroad pants and the Chinese
kid shirt are my LA staples, I never carry a purse so that outfit is
like a carry all. The railroad overalls I literally saw on a walk home
one day and I was really confused, they were in a pile on the sidewalk.
Walking around in LA always gets you magical finds, since everyone
drives. So I took the overalls home, threw them in the wash and for some
reason they fit me perfectly. Sometimes I think that’s a sign from the
universe that your on the right path, when perfectly fit railroad
overalls are on the ground waiting for you.
