Fashion Spotlight: Interview with Lisa Kline

admin — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:24:35 +0000

Earlier this year, after 16 years of owning one of the most popular stores on Robertson Blvd., founder Lisa Kline closed the doors to her women’s boutique. Her decision, although difficult and to some surprising, was brought on by the ever-changing world of the retail industry.

Recently I had the chance to speak with Lisa about her new direction, tips for success in the industry and what fashion we should look forward to in Spring 2012.

On closing her women’s store:

It is what it is, the world has changed. My model of brick & mortar, in my opinion, doesn’t work anymore because everything is online. I’m going to do women’s, just in another way.

Lisa’s new venture, VANITI, is a boutique marketplace set to launch Winter 2012. She is the co-founder and CFO (Chief Fashion Officer). As the CFO she will select the brands on the site and also have her own creative store. You can expect to see Lisa Kline leggings, jewelry, tops and more. Did you know Lisa studied fashion design?

On creating her own line:

Before I was very focused on opening stores, focused on being a retailer. This is the time now for me to do what I’ve always wanted to do. I’m excited and I still get to promote all the brands that I love and do what I love doing for VANITI.

With a positive outlook on her new direction, Lisa offers this advise to those trying to succeed in the fashion industry:

Have the pulse on what’s around you. Be ahead of the game. Social Media is important: Twitter and Facebook. You can follow Lisa Kline on Twitter and Facebook!

For Spring 2012, Lisa says it’s all about reversible denim by bluelab, great bags and amazing shoes. Check out her fun fill-in-the-blanks below:

Relaxed casual attire, reversible shorts, pants in linen and poplin. Military influence, outdoor rugged looks to workwear. Straight leg denim is still the trend, we won’t see bootleg jeans making a comeback till maybe Fall 2012. Outerwear pieces from washed leather, motorcycle jackets and lightweight blazers. Colorful shirts, fun swimwear. Cool sweaters, scarves and sweat shorts.

Love this sexy new rugged navy and brown check shirt from Arnold Zimberg. I dig it and the copper looking snaps.

Look good and feel confident

To all my men out there: Look good and feel more confident. Being stylish is cool. It does not have to mean sacrificing your comfort or masculinity. It means you have figured out or are in the process of evolving your own personal sense of style, who you are. I always say dress to impress, even yourself! Because the better you look, the better you feel and the better your day will be! Xo

Lisa Kline LA fashion for fathers

admin — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 03:06:22 +0000

I loved the Father’s Day segment I did on KTLA Monday morning. I showed sunny LA the different looks that you can buy for your favorite dad!! Our first look was the Hollywood “Rocker Dad”, wearing my favorite AG Matchbox Jeans, a black Rogue v neck tee shirt and lots of King Baby Jewelry!! He will look cool anywhere he goes! Look number 2 was the West LA (Brentwood, Westwood) Classic Dad! He feels comfortable in a tailored button down shirt from Zachary Prell, AG Protégé Jeans, and a Cohesive Jacket. He can go from the office to dinner in this look. Look number 3 was the Sleek Beverly Hills Dad!! I love this hip clean edgy look. He was rocking Joes skinny pants with a tight sexy Theory shirt. This dad is an agent going from meeting to meeting then to drinks and looking great. Look number 4 was the Malibu Casual Dad. This dad works for himself and can wear whatever he wants and loves to be comfortable! He has on the awesome Cohesive cut off sweat shorts, a turquoise Cohesive Tee Shirt, and Oliver Ryan Hoodie and to top it off a killer Rednex Hat! Look number 5 was you quintessential LA Dad!!! He is wearing all Cohesive from the Denim to the thin subtly striped shirt and a plaid jacket. I love the mixing of mediums and his Supra Black shoes looked amazing with the outfit.
