A member of WWD’s 1991 fashion class, fashion made note of Byron Lars' quirky yet sophisticated approach to design, the definitely made the cut.
Byron Lars needs a good night’s sleep. The 26-year-old designer has been working nonstop to keep up with the tidal wave of attention generated by his witty, sophisticated fall collection.
Bloomingdale’s plans a signed Byron Lars area in its flagship. Martha International, Neiman Marcus and Macy’s Northeast are buying the collection as well. And this is only Lars’ second season.“The rate at which this thing is catching on is frightening,” says the designer, an unassuming man who favors sweats and flower-strewn baseball caps. “I can’t believe it.”Lars borrows from menswear for fun, sexy women’s clothes.
A native of San Francisco, Lars started making prom frocks for friends to earn money. He went on to study fashion design at Brooks College in Long Beach, Calif., and the Fashion Institute of Technology. Along the way, he apprenticed with Los Angeles designer Kevan Hall and freelanced for Ronaldus Shamask and Gary Gatyas in New York. He considers patternmaking and cutting his greatest strengths. “Even if the clothes are ugly, I know they fit beautifully,“ he says with a laugh.
