ELECTRA LANG — Growing up in Manhattan, Electra Lang’s first summer job was working at the fabled Fiorucci on 59th Street. She continued to cultivate her unique style at Stanford University where she studied art history, and during her travels around the world, before finally settling in Los Angeles.
Whether entertaining for 6 or 60 at her historic home near Hollywood, running a creative commercial production and editorial company with her husband Peter, or picking berries at her family compound in the Adirondacks, Electra found herself wishing for a line of clothing that would fit in with her multi-faceted lifestyle.
With art as a family legacy, the jump from design and décor, to designing clothes was seamless. Electra’s ready-to-wear collection combines her love of vintage clothing and modern fashion with her love of the practical, and the real, and the stylish.
LAURA COLLINS — In the summer of 2009, Laura Collins realized that the only way to have fun and stylish clothes that fit properly was to start designing them herself. That’s when she teamed up with her good friends, Electra Lang and Kristi Buckley to form “Electra Lang.” All three women share a common desire for clothing that is versatile and fashionable, but comfortable!
“I began to realize the need for beautiful and current clothing that looks effortless and fits well on any body type was impossible to find!”
Laura studied applied art and design and after graduating from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, she worked as an art director for various magazines and as a designer and stylist for a design firm in Florence, Italy. After having three children, working as a portrait painter, traveling with her family and spending time entertaining, Laura’s newest passion is designing clothes that look fresh and fit perfectly.
KRISTI BUCKLEY — Juggling the demands of twin boys and a career in the business world, Kristi Buckley is a woman on-the-go. Even though she resides a few blocks from the sand in Manhattan Beach, California. Kristi’s style has always been classic with a twist.
The sportswear industry beckoned after Kristi received her communications degree at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. That’s where Kristi learned not only the nuts and bolts of the business, but that there was more to great fashion than simply style. “Clothing becomes functional through smart fabric choices and construction. It becomes a fashion statement when that functionality is combined with great design, and that is my goal for ‘Electra Lang’”. While Kristi serves as the detail person of our business, her perspective on cut, fabric and quality makes “Electra Lang” not just chic, but a company that prides itself on true value.
