H. Lorenzo's Worldly Awareness

H. Lorenzo store

H. Lorenzo is a man revered in the fashion business for his discerning eye, and he has managed to keep his equally discerning Hollywood clientele happy for more than 23 years. What keeps this hard to please crowd coming back to his eponymous store in Los Angeles is Lorenzo's well curated merchandise of established luxury brands alongside relatively unknown, yet promising labels from far-flung locations such as Japan. On a recent buying trip in Tokyo, we caught up with H. Lorenzo for a one-on-one chat about Japanese brands, his eco-concept shop H.L.N.R. and his advice for young designers.

JC Report: You got into Tokyo just a few days ago and have already been making the rounds; what brands have you seen so far?

H. Lorenzo: I've seen Toga, Botanika (by Taishi Nobukuni) and I just came from Patrick Stephan. I'm going to take a look at Aguri Sagimori next, then go to Sister. Tomorrow I will see DressCamp and Dress 33 (by former DressCamp designer Toshikazu Iwaya). I saw Dress 33 in Paris, but I want to see it up close. I've been coming to Tokyo on these intense buying trips for five years now. I research everything beforehand and want to see the up-and-comers.  read more »

R&R In LA Style

Custom House
As we noted in April, reclusiveness is the new luxury in Los Angeles. LA Fashion Week kicks off on Sunday, inevitably bringing with it a small, yet intrepid group of fashion types who are exhausted from the international collections. And while Lauren Conrad frocks and Ed Hardy belts may not be enough to soothe their nerves, a new crop of discretely luxurious hotels is sure to provide the right brand of rehab for a runway overdose.  read more »

    Since living back in New York, I’ve spent the last two Christmas and New Years in the City. It was never an option to stay home during this period when I lived in Paris. And I like it better that way. Getaways seemed to just happen and it was a given that at the end of the year, you’d find yourself somewhere, usually warm for me, far away from home.
