The influence of Los Angeles has been huge on our brand. It's tough to be in a bad mood with great weather and year-round sunshine! The fantastic weather is one of the main factors in the baker miller brand's optimistic, confident, and fun tone.
In addition, Los Angeles' incredible diversity has been a defining factor in the development and evolution of baker miller.
The previous blog post discussed the design inspiration for baker miller. Much of that inspiration came from talking to curvy women about their needs, wants, and frustrations with their current clothing options.
Los Angeles style has also influenced the designs at baker miller. What is LA style? It is much more than the glitz and glam you see on TV and in the media. It's an effortless yet always fashionable look. It's about looking put together and feeling sophisticated without compromising on comfort.
LA is a diverse landscape filled with bright and bold colors, and we've taken this inspiration and applied it to the designs for baker miller.
Los Angeles provides no shortage of aesthetic inspiration...
from the picturesque beachscapes…
…to the open blue skies, giving you a sense of freedom…
…to the colorful florals and green foliage, even in the winter…
…to the beautiful sunsets that are a meld of pink, orange, purple, and gold…
…to neighborhoods full of vibrant cultures, exciting architecture, and colorful attractions…
…to the creativity of the people inhabiting this city. Los Angeles is a place built by ambitious dreamers, a mash-up of people working in the entertainment, technology, food, fashion, music, arts, and wellness industries.
This environment not only influences the silhouettes of our clothes but also permeates fabrics, colors, and prints.
Los Angeles has many fabric mills, dye houses, and factories, and baker miller is proud to participate in LA's thriving fashion industry. We want to support local businesses where we can. We develop all our garments in LA and use local suppliers as much as possible.
Keeping it local allows us to keep a closer eye on production, ensures better quality control, and provides quick turnaround times. While we strive to work with local suppliers as much as possible, we will always try to find the best suppliers and manufacturers available to us so you get the best product.
