Lauren Conrad Talks Trash — And Her New Kohl’s Clothing Line

Tony DiMaio/Abaca

Lauren Conrad might have left The Hills behind, but if there’s one thing she’s unlikely to abandon, it’s her signature L.A.-cool style. And with her LC Lauren Conrad line having just launched in Kohl’s stores, the star is excited about sharing her West Coast flair with the rest of the nation. This past weekend, Lauren joined volunteers from Kohl’s Department Stores in an environmental clean-up event, clearing trash from Santa Monica Beach with the goal of filling up her garbage bag while dishing the dirt on her new line. “I think that for the Kohl’s line we wanted a very California brand,” she told PEOPLE. “We were able to make the California-look very accessible everywhere.” And it’s an untapped market that she was more than happy to help fill. “I see [the style] everywhere. I see it all over the country, and people are kind of catching on,” she explains. Although she had already run her own boutique label, she found that designing for a wider audience required some adjustments in her approach. “You have to keep in mind that you’re designing for a large range of people. You’re designing for different body types, different lifestyles, different weather,” she explains. Click here to check out Lauren’s line for Kohl’s.

In a fitting tribute to London Fashion Week’s 25th anniversary, Christopher Bailey brought a touch of Hollywood glamour to the capital with his latest collection for Burberry Prorsum. On the star-studded front row, Gwyneth Paltrow took her spot next to Burberry campaign model, Emma Watson but not before rushing over to greet the famous editor-turned-movie star, Anna Wintour. “That’s so weird because I literally just saw your movie last night — I loved it!,” gushed Paltrow. Victoria Beckham, Liv Tyler, Mary-Kate Olsen, Frieda Pinto and the brand’s face Emma Watson were also seated front row at the show, where the theme was ‘traditional Burberry with a twist’ (think trench coats encrusted with silver rocks and ruched mini-dresses in pale pastel hues). “I thought it was brilliant,” Posh told PEOPLE backstage adding, “I loved the colors a lot and the accessories were great.” Frieda Pinto couldn’t have agreed more, herself in a pale yellow dress straight off the runway, she gushed to PEOPLE, “There were so many colours out there I would wear, it was hard to choose!” As Christopher Bailey was greeted by his famous friends, he told PEOPLE how honored he was to have their support. “We had people flying over just for tonight, it was unbelievable and really emotional actually.” At the after party, Liv headed for the stage to see The Kooks perform live, saying “Everything was just beautiful, and so I’m happy to be back in London. It really is my favorite city, besides New York, of course!” –Monique Jessen
