Lizzie Owens’s resort moodboard at 6397 showcased a unique inspiration: paparazzi images of Laura Dern from the early 2000s. Specifically, the photos captured Dern with her then-partner Ben Harper and their children at the Sundance Film Festivals in Utah. Owens drew from Dern’s effortless style during that era, which was a blend of Hollywood glamour and indie spirit.
In contrast to many designers who aim to replicate celebrity looks, Owens used Dern as a “vibe oracle” for her collection. The garments showcased at the lookbook reflected this laid-back yet chic aesthetic. The standout piece was a moleskin coat with a slimmer silhouette, offering a modern twist on the label’s signature androgynous tailoring. Other notable pieces included sleeveless double-breasted coats, a pieced-together black dress, and a range of stylish knits.
Thanks to Owens’s collaboration with 6397 founder Stella Ishii, the brand has undergone a youthful transformation while retaining its core principles of quality materials and comfortable silhouettes. The collection resonated with a new generation of market editors, signaling a potential shift towards becoming a sought-after NYC It-brand.
With its funky, cool, and updated vibe, 6397 is poised to make waves in the fashion scene. The brand’s reimagined aesthetic, coupled with its enduring appeal, has the potential to solidify its status as a must-have label for those in the know. Keep an eye on 6397 for cutting-edge styles that effortlessly blend comfort and sophistication.
