Whether designing a feminine power suit for a couture client, or a unique collection for a store, Lauren’s signature style is recognized by eclectic blends of luxurious fabrics and textures. Each piece is complete with her artful touch… feathers, beading, fur trim, a simple bow or hand-made flower. These avant-garde couture pieces, as well as her classic ready-to-wear collections, have been commissioned by Nordstrom, Marshall Field’s, Macy’s, and boutiques nationwide for the past 20 years. Her custom creations are worn by women nationwide and Chicago notables, including: Maria Pappas, Cook County Treasurer; Dorothy Fuller, Apparel Industry Board Inc. President; Dorothy Brown, Clerk of the Circuit Court Cook County, IL, Loretta Durbin, wife of State Senator Dick Durbin, Judy Barr Topinka, past Illinois Treasurer; and Cookie Cohen—-socialite and fashionista. Most recently Lauren’s “Birds and Bees” Spring 2010 collection rocked the runway during Chicago’s Fashion Week featuring a nature inspired collection from leaf green to firry rust- complete with birds on the shoulders. Macy’s stylist Robin Oberman stated, “Lauren Lein’s fashions and creativity made our show.”
