28 || FASHION MAGAZINE || MAY / JUNE 2015Last year she brightened our holiday season with Lauren%u2019s Hollyday Collection, including her handpicked collection of fine linens and beautifully crafted adornments when she collaborated with Meret, Inc. She outdid herself shortly thereafter, when she lead us into the New Year with her announcement of Lauren%u2019s Closet, the result of her collaboration with Le Chateau, who she discovered when they designed the wardrobe for a movie she did, %u2018After the Ball%u2019. Founded in Montreal in 1959, and well known for the chic looks they offer that require minimal effort, it wasn%u2019t long before Lauren became one of their top customers. %u201cI started shopping there all the time, and joke with the owners that the stores should really be called %u201cLauren%u2019s Closet%u201d.Though it%u2019s hard to imagine looking at her latest work, Lauren says she always considered herself %u201cfashion challenged%u201d, and Le Chateau solved that problem. Consistently faced with the question of what to wear to a range of events, effortless and versatile are two things she looks for when putting any outfit together. %u201cThe Lauren%u2019s Closet woman is busy, and needs to look good for a variety of situations: the office, the grocery, a cocktail party, a premiere%u2026 a girl has got things to do!%u201dWith Spring right around the corner Lauren is itching to share (and wear) her amazing new collection, and says fans can count on this one to cover it all. Inspired by the idea that more folks should take a little time for a picnic, the looks are crisp and comfortable, but also range in texture and style. From gingham and polka dots to nautical and safari, the only looks customers can count on being excluded are those that require constant adjustment. %u201cIf it%u2019s not comfortable, I am not picking it!%u201dWhen she%u2019s not working, Lauren stays true to the laid back vibe shoppers are sure to feel while perusing her collections, and spends her free time with her three boys preferably laughing in front of the TV or at a BBQ with friends.
