5 things to love about LHD

Hériard Dubreuil’s passion for travel inspires her designs for LHD. “Each season is themed around a destination. I don’t take any trip for granted; everywhere I go could be the source for a new season,” she explains. “I’m traveling so much at the moment that I have seasons lined up in my head for years to come!” She designs each collection as the perfect (packable) capsule closet: “I want it to be a brand that girls take on vacation; it lends itself to blue skies and sunshine.”

Everyone from Italian designer Margherita Missoni and Ethiopian supermodel Liya Kebede to French journalist Alexandra Golovanoff and Dutch stylist Linda Tol have been spotted sporting the label’s playful pieces. As Hériard Dubreuil puts it, LHD girls are “confident women who travel the world”.

Known for flattering cuts and riotous prints, LHD’s mood-enhancing dresses and chic separates can be worn in myriad ways. “I wanted the label to be seasonless and timeless,” says founder and creative director Laure Hériard Dubreuil. “You can wear each piece from morning to evening, in the city or the countryside, for a day at work or a day at the beach. A friend of mine recently told me she wore the same LHD dress as a bridesmaid at a Hamptons wedding, to a countryside picnic in Tuscany and for a day on a boat cruising the Mediterranean. That versatility is exactly what LHD is all about.”

It might seem crazy that the brand launched just last year and is already a firm favorite with fashion insiders, but Hériard Dubreuil has been prepping her label for a lifetime: “I grew up as the eldest of four siblings and my brothers and sister were my first ‘clients’. I loved to dress them up, shop with them and help them select pieces for the new school year or special occasions. They still come to me for shopping tips!”
