Lauren Conrad gives StyleCaster a tour of her L.A. office. The 26-year-old designer and best-selling author talks about her collection, her style icons and her favourite local hangouts!
Lauren Conrad is
definitely a role model for girls around the world. At just 26, the
lovely designer and New York best selling author has managed to
create two clothing lines, a beauty book, a website, and a second
fictional book series. Still, it seems that Lauren is a realistic
girl.
StyleCaster had the opportunity to visit Conrad at her L.A. offices
and take a peek at her process. Talking to the StyleCaster, Lauren
explains the story behind the name of her collection, Paper
Crown.
"We thought of a lot of different names. We wanted something a
little bit feminine, a little bit whimsical but not too young. I
was talking about when I was younger and the idea of “dress up” and
how much fun it was. When I used to go to my grandma’s house, I
would put on dress up clothes. We had construction paper there, and
we would make crowns. I love the idea of creating your own glamour
out of something that was pretty simple, so it made sense for the
name," she says.
There's no doubt whatsoever that Lauren Conrad is an amazing
sartorial inspiration due to her fabulous, unique style. Growing up
in the public eye, the lovely star strongly believes that style is
very important when it comes to building a brand. But does Lauren
have any fashion icons who inspire her?
"There’s not one person that I say I want to look like. When we’re
pulling up photos for inspiration, we tend to pull photos from
years and years ago. We’re more likely to pull a photo of Audrey
Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot as opposed to something off a website
from today," she says.
The beautiful designer also shared with StyleCaster one of her
recent splurges. "My mom was a great bargain hunter, which I love
because it kind of taught me how to dress high and low. I love
wearing designer pieces with something I found at Target. But I
recently splurged on a Goyard leather carry on. You don’t have to
check it, and you can wear it at the airport with a T-shirt and
jeans and it still looks great because it pulls the whole outfit
together," she confesses.
Speaking about her favourite local hangouts, Lauren explains in the
interview that, "I love my salon. My hairstylist Kristin Ess opened
up her own little studio. It’s fun. She’s fantastic, is a close
friend, and is thankfully very flexible with my schedule. I’ll be
working all week, and I’ll come in at like 7 at night. My hair
takes seven hours, so sometimes we’ll order take out and drink
champagne. We also like to fool around a bit, so it probably takes
a lot longer than it should!"
