DESIGNERS OF THE WEEK: LAUREN ALEXANDER and APRIL LEIGHT of LNA
LnA was founded in 2007 in Los Angeles by partners Lauren Alexander and April Leight after meeting in Hollywood in their early twenties. They “realized that they both were fans of the simple basic tee and could not find it to go with their jeans for the day or a skirt for the night."*
After coming up with a concept of a man’s tee that was flattering on a woman, they launched the ‘Boyfriend Tee Collection’. “We wanted to design the perfect basic, the new staple for every woman’s wardrobe. Our goal was to create the new lifestyle t-shirt that mastered fit, versatility, and color range” said Lauren. It was then that “LNA had become a line that is simple and understated chic”* April adds. It paid off quickly, their first collection was snatched up by the trendsetting boutiques and major department stores across the world in under a year.
In 2008, LNA decided to expand onto other hot items such as the leggings, 80s inspired hoodies, cardigans, and super fine cotton henleys for both men and women. 
LNA has an incredibly loyal celebrity following; women followers include: Charlize Theron, Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, and Nicole Richie. As for the men, Jeremy Piven, Gavin Rossdale and Ryan Phillippe love the tees.
We at Owl’s Lab heart LNA from their insanely comfortable v-neck to their zipper and riding leggings that we find ourselves living in. We truly appreciate these girl’s visions for making fashion comfortable yet flattering!
