Lauren Conrad covers the April 2013 issue of
Redbook magazine. In the
Redbook interview, the designer and tv personality offers fashion advice and talks about her lines, LC Lauren Conrad and Paper Crown. LC Lauren Conrad is sold at Kohl's and Paper Crown has an ecommerce website at
paper-crown.com.
Lauren's Advice for Building Your Wardrobe: "Whenever someone comes up to me and says, 'I'm having trouble shopping.' I tell them to pull out their 10 favorite, most-worn pieces, then build a wardrobe around them. You need to figure out what you gravitate toward, what makes you feel good - and those staples are going to be different for everybody."
On The Inspiration for Her Collections: "At first, I was just designing for myself. Then I started getting comments from women who didn't have my body type, saying things like, 'I have a larger chest and can't wear this tent-shaped dress.' So I've learned to make pieces that don't necessarily flatter me but look great on someone else."
On How She is Different Than Other Celebrity Designers: "I spent years in school for this. It wasn't just, 'I like clothes! I'm going to make some!'"
