Space Lab blasts off
Offerings from an elite, global clutch of edgy designers have bowed in the Space Lab section of select Nordstrom stores. Olivia Kim, vice president of creative projects for the luxury retailer, chose the five designers as a follow-up to her well-received spring 2017 initiative.
“A lot of these brands have been around for a few seasons and were starting to move out of infancy and become well-known,” Kim said.
The five include South Korea’s Hyein Seo; Marine Serre from Paris, who won this year’s LVMH Prize for young designers; London’s Rejina Pyo and Richard Malone; and New York-based Sandy Liang, who in July was named a finalist in this year’s CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund. There are 45 items total from the five designers.
Kim said her key criteria in curating the designers was diversity. The clothing is priced from $150 to $2,970 and encompasses aesthetics ranging from ultra-feminine to unisex. This Space Lab collection will be sold through the fall. Space Lab available at Nordstrom at the Grove, 189 the Grove Drive, L.A., and at shop.nordstrom.com/spacelab
