'It’s an optimistic take on the future.' See every look from La_DoubleJ's resort 2021 collection and read our full review:
Before the pandemic, LaDoubleJ was on a roll. Creative commander in chief JJ Martin was ready to embark on a world tour of fabulous events—a Sotheby’s takeover in London; a big social dinner in Paris to fete a collaboration with Fabrizio Viti; and the rollout of a just-launched partnership with Acqua di Parma, plus a schedule of personal appearances in Los Angeles and at Bergdorf Goodman in New York. But then the outbreak hit. “Everything we had worked for so hard was canceled. Lost. Gone.
People stopped paying our bills, we were having in-season merchandise already ordered sent back by department stores and retailers. There was a lot of disappointment and pain around that. I felt very destabilized.” What helped her to hold on, confronting the moment and calming her fears was her spiritual practice. “I started doing chakra cleansings and energy meditation for people remotely; I was holding weekly meditation sessions on Zoom for my team during the lockdown,” said Martin.
