PS: As we look to fall, are trends still relevant?
JL: With most work and day-to-day activities happening remotely, I think trends are becoming less relevant and people are able to express themselves more freely without the added pressure of impressing someone in the office for instance. There's more freedom to mix and match different wardrobe staples and show off personal style, which is great.

PS: In planning for spring 2021, do you suspect there will be a return to more fun fashion, or is the demand for more functional/utilitarian pieces going to last into next year?
JL: I definitely think there will be a return to more fun fashion — that's a priority for me at least! With fashion, there's so much room for creativity and personal expression through style, and I think that is what everyone is looking for at this time - a good outlet for creativity. Sweats have been great, but when we are able to get back to regular life, I think people we'll be excited for the fun, emotional pieces to add to their wardrobes — I predict it will be a great mix of comfortable, utilitarian grounding pieces with some exciting statement elements mixed in.
