La Ligne co-founders Meredith Melling and Valerie Macaulay joined Laura for SALON x LKS Vol. 2 at the Forsyth studio on May 8 and 9, 2019.

The co-founders touched down for their first-ever trip to Saint Louis to introduce the brand and share their experiences and insights as female founders. The conversation covered everything from why stripes and lines, the subway test, Meredith's love of puns, their direct-to-consumer approach, La Bande portrait series, self-care as moms and co-founders, and much more. Guests shopped and sipped rosé with Valerie and Meredith on Wednesday evening and all day Thursday at Forsyth.

PSA: Skinny Jeans Were Never “Out”
PSA: Skinny Jeans Were Never “Out”

What we all know when it comes to trends and aesthetics is that everything (well, not literally everything, thank heavens) is cyclical, so inevitably this silhouette of denim that has made its way “out” is now back “in.” But let’s be real — the skinny jean was never truly gone from the women's wear lexicon and closet. And I’m glad about that. You should be, too.
