Designers Jessica Moss and Lisa Guajardo of the Los Angeles-based women's line Leyendecker have a decidedly bi-coastal approach to fashion. That is, they are L.A. ladies with a New York point of view. "We wanted to do something that was classic but still innovative; something that wouldn't go stale in your wardrobe." The bold collection all connected with moody, muted tones, is feminine minus the froth. The formula they've concocted yields special pieces designed with versatility in mind. This even-flow of concept and classicism can be attributed to the natural blend of Lisa's and Jessica's design prowess. "We could not have more opposite styles," says Jessica. "Lisa is super outside the box and very artistic, which is inspiring to me because I'm more practical. I'm less conceptual, very literal. Lisa is constantly pushing us out, and I pull it back in. So, we meet in the middle, and it just works." The result is a well-edited collection with a minimalist focus and slight vintage vibe. You won't find a lot of fluff in this new line. "We're very anti-trim and embellishment," says Jessica. Instead, they concentrate on texture, tailoring, and clean but slightly sculptural lines, while borrowing vintage construction techniques in their more complicated pattern-work.
