A.L.C. was founded by celebrity stylist turned designer Andrea Lieberman in 2009. While touring with clients, Lieberman sought sleek, polished staples she could fit into a carryon and style endlessly. Struggling to find them in the market, Andrea Lieberman she chose to design them herself.

Blending New York edge with Los Angeles ease, the women’s ready-to wear line is distinctive for its luxurious quality, meticulous attention to detail, and confident silhouettes. A.L.C. equips stylish women for every facet of life
