Lauren Boyle

occupation: editor of upcoming DIS magazine

“I think that what makes our generation kind of special or new is how we appreciate the lowest, you know, trashiest stuff and the most refined things and one is not better than the other, they are all sort of on the same level. Its just up to your interpretation and your usage.” Lauren Boyle

When I asked Lauren what happens if she goes out and doesn’t feel herself on a given day, her response was, “Maybe I should try it. That could be really fun. Just go out absolutely not me at all.” So uncontrived and confident in who she is, there is no armor when exploring Lauren and her style. She is who she is, low or high end, it’s all interesting, and it makes her energy and ideas so fresh in the most explosive yet natural way. For example, she makes “conservatism” the epitome of cool in her mother’s matching suede ’80s Ruff Hewn ensemble and her signature Bally loafers. Everything she wears is about an idea or a feeling and her instincts are acute, like her McQueen suede apron/dress and black leather vintage trench, which are both archetypal and elemental in shape and design. Lauren is a connoisseur and collector of fashion magazines, particularly the older originals and pioneers. She is soon to launch her own “pseudo-fashion magazine” called DIS. Lauren’s too much of an observer not to be a leader and express her own vision and it’s in keeping with her comfort in being a “real outsider” as opposed to the “accepted outsider.” I have a feeling it will be groundbreaking in terms of what is happening in print right now, but in the most unpretentious way.

She reminds me of Tilda Swinton. I really like the way she expresses herself.

I love this woman! Very unique and well-spoken.

And she doesn’t say “like” every other word, which is a nice change.

She is smart and well articulate. I really like what she stated about art and fashion and the whole high/low discourse. Her style is very minimalist and serious, but without arrogance. I normally like a more playfull take on fashion, more color, forms and shapes that accentuate ones body more, but i have to say her clothes really fit her. And looking at you Lauren, I had the impression that you feel entirely good about yourself!
You are the epitome of equilibrium- and not the slightest bit boring. Chapeau!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lauren Boyle’s style is exquisite! I’d stalk her. Perhaps I already have. I can’t wait for DIS Magazine, from what I hear it’s going to be a real scream.
