By Taylor deDiego  
Lauren Elaine is no stranger to bright lights and fame. The model turned actress has recently entered the world of fashion and design starting primarily with luxurious dresses. After immense success with clothing design, Miss Elaine is now taking the bikini and cruisewear world by storm; She released her Black Label swimwear line earlier this summer. After meeting with Miss Elaine in a quaint courtyard off of Melrose and viewing her collection, we are sure that her name is going to make a big splash among bikini lovers and retail stores alike. We sat down with Miss Elaine to discuss inspiration, finding a flattering bikini, and what is to come in the future for her line.  

 You have so far worked with clothing design, what inspired you to design swimwear?
Being born and raised in California was an inspiration. Before creating my line, I found the bikinis available were either too flashy or not quite detailed enough. The line has a 1970’s feel inspired by the movie The Runaways. It has a free spirit kind of feel.
What was your creative process like when designing your swimwear line? Did you know from beginning what you wanted your bikinis to look like or did it evolve over time?
 I knew I wanted there to be a 1970’s feel. But I didn’t do a lot of sketching. It kind of just came as I worked, especially since I knew the general look I was trying to create.
