Brooklyn-based designer Lauren Manoogian created her eponymous line in 2011, after mastering the various shades of fabrics at the Rhode Island School of Design. What started out as a collection of jewelry and knitwear eventually evolved into a full range of women's ready-to-wear. Guided by its know-how acquired abroad as well as by its African and South American approaches, Manoogian distinguishes itself by a creative approach which values ancient artisanal fabrics, both organic and of ethical origin. On the one hand, quilted jackets, relaxed pants and plush supima cotton t-shirts in faded tones project an image of relaxed sophistication. On the other hand, oversized sweaters and iconic blanket-style scarves crafted in opulent alpaca, merino wool and cashmere nod to the label's classic knitwear.
