An Exclusive Sneak Peek at A.L.C.’s Upcoming Photo Series

Before founding her line, A.L.C., in 2009, Andrea Lieberman worked as a stylist, dressing the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Gwen Stefani and more. "These women continue to inspire me endlessly with their strength and soulfulness,” reveals Andrea, whose label has become a go-to for celebs and the fashion crowd alike. “Having worked with so many women, I understand the emotions behind getting dressed — ultimately, we want to feel confident and powerful whether we are on stage, at a red carpet or going out to dinner with a group of friends.”

This comprehension comes through in Andrea’s designs, which border casual and luxurious, and are always versatile and effortlessly cool. She makes the kind of pieces that you can throw on in a moment’s notice and still make your friends gush over. Plain and simple: she gets what real, fashionable, girls on the go want to wear — and it doesn't totally break the bank, either. Case in point: her Spring 2017 collection, which offers easy-to-mix separates and breezy dresses featuring subtle details that completely elevate each individual piece (think uniquely placed grommets, creative cut-outs, and textured fabrics).

To capture the collection’s understated perfection, as well as the brand’s emboldening and girl-power-focused ethos, Andrea tapped LA-born photographer Clara Balzary to shoot a 35-image creative photo series centered on the themes of youth, confidence, individuality, and female friendship.
