Not exactly off this years runway but I found this in my inspiration folder and fell in love. No idea who did this.

I am presently designing a new collection, a series in Black N White that I am very excited about along with choosing what to sample for a Spring duvet launch. To keep motivated I am constantly perusing the web for new sources of inspiration. Today I stumbled on Mickalene Thomas an artist who’s work channels the soulful 70’s. As a textile designer I am always blown away by painted textiles incorporated into art however she doesn’t stop there, many of her pieces have hand applied rhinestones that add another dimension to its beauty. Most of her subjects are women that she paints so vividly you want to meet. She did her residency at The Studio Museum in Harlem, I can’t wait until she returns to NY for a show.

I spent the weekend working on the new LB BlackNWhite collection. While I have not completed all of the styles I couldn’t help but think about the classics and the way Laidback began. With the weather feeling quite nice I hit the street and took a few picts of the classics that started the brand. In the spirit of nostalgia and old school now until December 20 they will be on sale 2 for $90 or $each. Sale styles include “Ol Play, Boomin, Headline, Soul Chain,Breakin and My Tatt.
Mix and match if you please.
