Luar Goes Into the Water: Raul Lopez's Label Makes Swimwear With The Standard

Luar, the New York label designed by Raul Lopez, now makes swimwear, and it gets there through a partnership with The Standard. For an archive that tracks who wore what and where, a new category from a designer's house is worth noting on the day it arrives. Swimwear asks different things of a label than a jacket or a gown does: the cut has to hold up in the water and on a lounge chair, and every seam shows. Luar has taken that on together with The Standard, and both names sit on the project. For New York readers it's a local label from their own city trying something new. The pieces are out now, and we'll be watching for the first time someone wears one.
