L'agence is a Los Angeles-based women's lifestyle label founded in 2008 by Jeff Rudes, Margaret Maldonado and retailer Ron Herman. Built on premium denim and washed silks that fuse California ease with a Parisian sensibility — a blend echoed right in the name — the brand has grown from a single Melrose Place boutique into a global business carried in some 300-450 specialty stores, with flagship boutiques in Paris, Beverly Hills, Seoul and beyond. A celebrity favourite worn by Cindy Crawford, Jennifer Lopez, Drew Barrymore and Martha Stewart, L'agence is celebrated for polished yet effortless essentials: great-fitting jeans, fluid silk tops, sharp blazers and modern ready-to-wear.
