THEIR STORY
Linden designer Jennifer Lynn inspirations are from working at the L.A Ballet in the costume department. Because Linda was working with costumes on a regular basis, she was inspired by the developing process costumes go through to become stage-ready, at times some things have to be completed in an alternative way. The designs in her collection are created using a similar approach. The presentation style at in The Atelier Room was unusual  too, having two models that never left the space, changing outfits in front of spectators, which was inspired by the theatrical quick changes she has been apart of through the L.A Ballet.

THIER STORY
Brad Parnell and his partner Rodney Jones are the duo that make up the brand
William Bradley, and they are also getting married in September. Their collection, aptly
named, Tying the Knot, is based around their upcoming celebrations. Rodney is Mid-Century
driven in his inspiration, which is where the collection’s pastel colors came in, and the
architectural pieces came from Brad, who is more Art Deco driven. Since getting married was the collection’s theme, they fused the two styles together in one happy marriage. They also chose to use grosgrain ribbons for the accent bows, grosgrain is the strongest ribbon, and when you're tying the knot, symbolically or otherwise, it's good to have a strong foundation.
