LUAR debuted their Autumn/Winter 2023 collection at New York Fashion Week on Wednesday, February 15th. Creative Director Raul Lopez explores Calle Pero Elegante, translating to mean “street elegance” in Spanish. Inviting us to enter a modern-day Gilded Era, through this collection he showcases his take on the treasures he entrusts to the next generation, artfully draped crepe skirts with hooded gowns, and a new take on the Ana bag, among others.

Lopez hopes to give a voice to his culture at-large, including his Dominican roots and the New York diaspora, and from being inspired by the women he saw out and about in his Williamsburg neighborhood as a kid. For Lopez, these women and the company they kept exemplify street elegance – they remain the prototype.
