BYRON LARS

Byron Lars started designing under his own label in 1991 with a small collection of “twisted American classics” as he calls them, some quite literally twisted, i.e. ultra-feminine riffs on the classic men’s button-down shirt. Best known in some circles for designing the first ever full collection of black Barbie Dolls, Byron created a glamorous doll for each of the 16 years of his collaboration with Mattel, having garnered the devotion of thousands of Barbie enthusiasts the world over, including famed fashion designer Jason Wu.
