About A Girl: Theo Allen
For our third About A Girl feature we were able to hang with Theo Allen, a photographer/student/painter/musician (!!) from Los Angeles. Theo is good friends with Clara Balzary, our last AAG girl, and they even play in each others band. As if it’s not enough to be finishing up her undergrad studies, Theo also finds the time to pursue her own photography, hang out with her beau in NYC, see live music, hunt for thrift and vintage finds, wander in nature and play in a band. Totally inspirational. We hope to follow up with Theo as she’s making plans that may find her in Virginia or Tennessee after school. The adventure continues…

Grey Antics for UO Interview
Just when you think there can’t possibly be a new designer collaboration, we hit you with another. L.A. based designer Grant Krajecki and his partner Natalie Levy of Grey Ant both shop at Urban (yes, really) so it made perfect sense for them to design a line specifically for us—namely Grey Antics. The duo invited our film crew into their chaotic yet inspiring downtown studio and took time out from their frantic, pre-fashion-week schedules to entertain us with a little dance, a drum performance or two (keep practicing Grant), and a sneak peek at this new line. Just read the label: they’re clothes that don’t suck.

byCorpus for UO Interview
While filming this interview we definitely had some “you had to be there” kind of fun. Keith Richardson and Jerrod Cornish, the stylish and affable duo behind the byCorpus line, were amazing guides and hosts. They toured us around their showroom and design studio, previewed pieces from their upcoming men’s and women’s lines and basically gave us a solid idea of how much work goes into earning one’s place within the fashion industry. We also got to cruise over to their denim factory in their shiny new whips which was a total bonus.

Charlotte Ronson of Play by C.Ronson
We really are knocking these collaborations out of the park, if we must say so ourselves. Our latest offering comes from Charlotte Ronson, who created her Play by C.Ronson line especially for us. In fact, this is the first time Charlotte Ronson has created a collection for a specific retailer. Aren’t we special? Read our interview with Charlotte, where she holds court on the joy of driving, her muses (her sisters, natch) and sticking with your passions, whatever they may be.
