Valerie Macaulay and Meredith Melling, the creative force behind La Ligne, met when they were both editors at Vogue, and after starting a consulting business, paired up with Molly Howard (formerly the head of business development for rag & bone) to start their new line. La Ligne is all about making the kinds of classic pieces you can build your wardrobe around, with an eye toward Macaulay and Melling’s mutual love of all things striped. We love them for classic tees and sweaters, and for their monograms, which you’ll know from their signature strike-through.
