Leah Shlaer designs are a hybrid of influences: A life long love of Paris, years in Classical Dance Modern & Performance Art in NYC, annual visits to Miami Beach, and a bohemian upbringing in New Mexico filled with the esthetics of painters & artists, punk bands, skaters, vibrant Native American and Spanish culture, and a love of all things beautiful. Born and raised amidst the beauty and wildne
ss of Santa Fe, NM and ever inspired by her current home of Los Angeles, designer Leah Shlaer creates premium swimwear & lingerie that is sensual & luxe. Each piece is proudly designed and manufactured at top factories in Los Angeles. Leah Shlaer's designs have been seen and written about in WWD, Vogue, W Magazine, Marie Claire, Nylon, InStyle, Sports Illustrated Swim, the Zoe Report, California Apparel News, Cosmopolitan, Esquire, GQ, Mirage, Treats, LiveFast, Zoe Report, and Refinery 29 among many others. This season’s collection was a flashback to my early years studying dance, wearing my leotards day to night and experiencing what I would describe as the last days of the ‘90s supermodel era in NYC. It is an aesthetic that is very much rebellious & crossover--you won’t be wearing typical swimwear, but you will feel beautiful. In three words, Leah Shlaer is spirited, sensual, and timeless. -, Designer
