L'agence, the brainchild of famed agent Margaret Maldonado and her elite team of stylists, is one of the most notable labels to surface in recent years. After years of dressing Hollywood's finest (Nicole Richie, Christina Aguilera, Heidi Klum), Maldonado and her crew have collaborated on a contemporary line that captures today's hottest looks made popular by their clientele.
Where to begin? Characterized by slouchy silhouettes, a modest color palette, and a range of updated basics, the line boasts that easy, effortless chic aesthetic that everyone strives to achieve, yet somehow, unexplicably, is so difficult to attain. I attribute this quality to the fact that the line is the spawn of several stylists rather than one designer. While designers birth the vision, it is often the stylists who give life to that vision, and extract it from the runway or the pages of a magazine onto the street for everyday wear.
The label's Spring 2010 collection has just surfaced at Ron Herman and I have to say, it fails to disappoint. The easy, laid-back styles in light, airy fabrics and blacks, white and grays (and bubblegum pink as a pop color!) can act as standalone looks or great layering pieces.
My favorites of the collection:
The print here reminds me of the C&C California alligator print jersey top, only better because its in silk...and I can never resist silk tie dye.
Amazingly done. A bit more modest than the A.Wang hole-y sweaters but still fashion-forward.
Perfectly styled. A simple top spiced up with a dramatic v and studded vest, a carryover of one of FW09's biggest trends.
