KAREN LORD

Founder, Karen Lord Pilates Movement

karenlordpilatesmovement.com

Karen Lord has always believed that movement, design and personal style are deeply connected. After building her career in New York, she brought her signature athletic, method-driven approach to Los Angeles, where her newly opened Melrose flagship reflects the philosophy behind everything she creates: intentional, elevated and built to last. The same mindset defines Lord’s personal style. Drawn to sculptural silhouettes, monochromatic palettes and impeccable craftsmanship, she gravitates toward forever pieces over fleeting infatuations. “To me, clothing is sculpture,” she says. “I’d rather invest in timeless pieces I’ll wear for years than chase trends.” Whether she’s wearing a Phoebe Philo bomber, vintage-inspired jewelry or a perfectly cut black tee, every element feels considered without trying too hard. Her studio mirrors that aesthetic. Every light fixture, work of art and piece of furniture was selected with the same care she gives her wardrobe. “Great design shouldn’t reveal itself all at once,” Lord says. “It should continue unfolding over time.” With expansion on the horizon and new creative collaborations already taking shape, Lord isn’t simply building a Pilates brand—she’s redefining what a modern wellness lifestyle can look like. “We’re just getting started,” she says. “The most meaningful work is still ahead.”

NICKY HILTON

Co-Founder, theo grace

theograce.com

Nicky Hilton has long occupied a unique place at the intersection of fashion, philanthropy and entrepreneurship. Still, these days she’s focused on creating pieces that are as personal as they are beautiful. Through theo grace, her fine jewelry brand, Hilton is helping women celebrate life’s most meaningful moments with heirloom-worthy designs that feel timeless rather than trendy. “I’ve always loved personalized jewelry because it’s unique, meaningful and deeply personal,” she says. “I wanted to create pieces that truly tell a story.” That sentiment extends to her own wardrobe. Hilton’s style is refreshingly versatile, shifting effortlessly from polished classics to edgier looks depending on the occasion. “One day I’m wearing pearls and tweed, the next I’m in leather leggings with a smoky eye and on the weekends, you can find me in sweatpants,” she says. “It’s called range, baby.” Whether attending a gala or a daytime luncheon, Hilton embraces fashion as an opportunity for self-expression. “I genuinely love dressing up,” she says. “Fashion is fun, and when every detail comes together, that’s when I feel my most con dent.” Looking ahead, she’s expanding theo grace beyond jewelry while remaining true to its heart. “I’m looking forward to introducing new personalized categories that allow our customers to celebrate their stories in even more meaningful ways,” she says.

ANDREA LIEBERMAN

Founder and Chief Creative Officer, A.L.C.

alcltd.com

Andrea Lieberman has spent her career helping women look and feel their best. After years as one of fashion’s most sought-after stylists, she launched A.L.C. with a simple mission: to create beautifully crafted clothes that empower women through confidence, quality and ease. Today, that philosophy continues to define one of fashion’s most enduring contemporary brands. “Styling taught me the power of dressing a woman to feel her highest and best,” Lieberman says. “It’s never about changing who you are. It’s about giving women clothes that help them feel confident and like the best version of themselves.” That mindset extends to her own wardrobe. Effortlessly polished with a relaxed edge, Lieberman’s signature look is built around perfectly cut trousers, great denim, luxurious knits and timeless layers. “For me, it always comes back to quality, proportion and ease,” she says. “At the end of the day, I just want clothes that make me feel 100% myself.” This August, A.L.C. reopened its Pacific Palisades Village boutique, a milestone that reflects the brand’s continued growth and Lieberman’s strong connection to the community. “It feels less like returning and more like coming home,” she says. With new categories and thoughtfully designed essentials on the horizon, Lieberman continues to prove that the most enduring style is built on classics, always underscored by confidence.

LAWREN SAMPLE

Celebrity Stylist & Creative Director | Co-Founder, Partlow

partlowofficial.com

Lawren Sample has spent more than two decades shaping the style of some of Hollywood’s most fashionable women, and today she’s channeling that expertise into building Partlow, the luxury boot brand she co-founded with her sister, Kasey. Raised in Mississippi and now firmly rooted in Los Angeles, Sample has created a brand that blends Western heritage with understated luxury, proving timeless style always outlasts trends. “We wanted something that honored where we came from but felt equally at home in Paris, Los Angeles or Montana,” she says. Years of celebrity styling taught Sample that the best wardrobe staples aren’t the loudest. “The women with the strongest sense of style aren’t chasing every new trend,” she says. “They’ve edited their wardrobes down to the pieces they genuinely love.” That philosophy carries through every Partlow collection. Thoughtfully crafted and built to last, the boots are designed to become part of a woman’s everyday uniform rather than a fleeting fashion moment. “My style is fairly minimal with a little Western influence,” Sample says. “I’m much more interested in longevity than perfection.” With new silhouettes, accessories and customizable boot charms on the horizon, Partlow continues to grow organically while staying true to its original mission: “Our goal has always been simple: to make boots that become part of someone’s story and are still being worn—and loved—10 years from now.”
