The SS14 collection is inspired by laundry. One of the things I found most interesting about Lola and her creative process is it's very organic. She doesn't start with a singular theme for a collection, rather she creates pieces first and then develops a concept based on what she creates.

Each Lola hat is adorned with a lovely label
A few of the pieces featured in various fashion publications
I few weeks ago while I was in NYC for NYFW, I had the pleasure of visiting the Lola Hats/John studio in Bushwick. I have been an admirer of Lola's creations for several years and was elated to not only see her creative space but to meet her as well. What started in 1989 as a small storefront has now progressed to a beautiful studio space overlooking the Manhattan skyline. You may recognize her work as it has been featured in fashion publications such as Vogue, W, Elle, The New York Times Magazine, Marie Claire, to name a a few, and boasts an impressive client list which includes Kate Spade, Ralph Lauren, Phillip Lim and Tommy Hilfiger among others. What I love about her designs is the beautiful craftsmenship and cool factor each piece radiates. You can view more of Lola's pieces here!
Special thanks to Lola and Liz for graciously letting me visit the lovely studio
