Irina Lazareanu likes reading Turgenev, running around in 3.1 Phillip Lim, and channeling sixties French chanteuse Francoise Hardy.
These things keep her pretty busy.
Too busy to start designing for Ralph Lauren.
In an interview with Canadian paper Macleans, today Irina says she turned down an offer to design wtih the American sportswear giant.
At first we thought the choice was odd - Irina for the land of cable cardigans?
But then we remembered, it was Ralph who dressed Diane Keaton in wide pants and suspenders for ‘Annie Hall’.
So while she might be able to bring some coolness back into their brand, we think Irina already has that menswear-inspired look cornered.

It's very important that my musicians use $110 bath oil. She's well on her way to musical credibility.
Ah, I can't hate on Irina. I love her style too much.
