Banana Republic and La Ligne Launch 36-Piece Fall Collaboration

Founders of La Ligne, Molly Howard, Valerie Macaulay, and Meredith Melling, have teamed up with Banana Republic to unveil a 36-piece collection set to launch on September 9. Drawing from both Banana Republic's archives and their own philosophy of functional, timeless fashion, the designers—two of whom have a background at Vogue—have created modern interpretations of classic essentials. Highlights include adjustable-waist floor-length trousers, a versatile asymmetrical button-down that can also be worn as a dress, and a suede skirt featuring an off-center slit. The outerwear, showcasing a nubuck barn jacket and a trench with a detachable corduroy collar, reflects the brand's utilitarian heritage. La Ligne's signature stripes are incorporated into knitwear, tees, and dresses. The campaign, featuring actor Zoey Deutch, was photographed in a Tribeca loft, with prices ranging from $20 to $1,500. The founders prioritize quality and durability, aiming for pieces that adapt to the wearer while evoking an autumnal, back-to-work vibe.
