Brand Spotlight: Lauren Manoogian

Brand Spotlight: Lauren Manoogian

Posted by Sarah Evans on

Lauren Manoogian's namesake label is defined by textural knits, organic forms, and slouchy fits. Manoogian found her start in knitwear and accessories, and the former still strongly informs her direction today. Early on she expanded her offerings to include ready-to-wear, knit handbags, hats, and shoes.

 

Her designs are meant to honor the fabrics they're cut from. Some fibers are left un-dyed, allowing their innate intricacies to influence the final look of each garment. Pima cotton, baby alpaca, and organic cotton are a few of the luxurious natural materials utilized throughout the collections. A theme of strong details such as oversized knee darts and architectural silhouettes ties the collection together. Utilitarian details such as drawstring and elastic waistbands add to the overall feeling of comfort and hygge that the brand encompasses. 

For anyone who appreciates substantial fabrics and garments with unique forms, Lauren Manoogian was made for you. Enjoy the subtle and sandy color palette all year long, with these neutral foundational "lifestyle" garments.
