Inside Gothleisure™ with Lively Ghosts Founder Lindsay Kaye
The designer reflects on the inspiration behind the brand’s latest chapter
By: The Lace Ledger Staff
Few launches have generated as much excitement within gothic fashion circles this summer as Gothleisure™ collection.
The newest addition to cult favourite brand, Lively Ghosts’ lineup, arrives at a moment when people are becoming increasingly unwilling to reserve their favourite aesthetics for special occasions only. Equal parts practical and playful, the collection brings lace, Victorian-inspired details and the brand's signature spooky wink into a category overrun with boring, basic matching sets.
To celebrate the launch, we caught up with founder Lindsay Kaye to discuss the collection's origins, the art of building an entire world through design and where Lively Ghosts is headed next—which, if our conversation is any indication, may involve both yoga mats and red-carpet drama ;).
