The Loved One is the brainchild of Brooklyn-based artist Hannah Kristina Metz and Los Angeles-based designer Elvia Lahman. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the label will launch a collection of vintage-inspired lingerie and lacy negligee for a special pop-up shop this week.
The bicoastal duo crowdsourced the funds to launch their first line. The Loved One collection will fall in line with the pair's passion for retro fashion and playful slumber party wear.
