Inside Retro Revival: Artist Dylan Tellesen

Art | 19 November 2010

by

Here at Lulu*s, we love art!
 
Our newest lookbook, Retro Revival features a giant mural done by local artist Dylan Tellesen. Painter, professor and graphic artist, Tellesen is a local celebrity here in Chico. Besides founding the Ray Ray Gallery and The 46 artist collective, Tellesen’s work is seen throughout Chico and beyond.
 
One of Tellesen’s paintings from 2008.
 
The “Bridge of Bridges” Mural extends the entire length of one of the classic brick buildings in Chico. Here is our model, Kennedy standing in front of just a small portion.
 
Art Director, Siobhan, steps up for a bit of quick styling.
 
Over the course of this mural going up, I recall passing by many a day to find a new layer had been added or painted over.  The near obsessive use of layering really creates a sense of history throughout the whole piece.
 

Check out this awesome time lapse video of Tellesen working (including a few little interludes by his two children!)
 
We love our local artists, here in Chico, and we’d love to hear about some of the projects that go in your hometowns, too!

Employee Look of the Day: Punky Stylin with Cara!

Fashion | 14 April 2010

by

As you might or might not know, Lulus.com is located in Chico, California, and it is a huge warehouse full of gals wearing lots and lots of cute clothes in many different ways! I realized that we don’t feature our own lovely ladies nearly often enough, so I am going to try and bring more pictures to you of our awesomely dressed employees.

We’ll start off with Cara, who is indeed our stylist and has been on the blog a few times already for her hipster “Geek Chic” style.

Cara recently fractured her elbow in a bike accident and has had to wear a sling for the past month or so! Instead of letting it bring her down Cara played up the tough look with her sling and just the right layering!

You can get this look (without breaking your elbow please!) with these items:

The Novel Idea Specs, the If Wishes Were Horses Tee, the Circle Quay Vest, the Levi’s 632 High Rise Skinny Jean in North, and the Wanted Prague Gray Girly Construction Boot in Vegan Leather!!!

Model Profile Olivia!!

Fashion | 01 April 2010

And now I am here to introduce Olivia. Olivia is one of our beautiful, charming, and oh soooooo sweet models! If we were to give a Miss Congeniality award it would most definitely go to this LuLu*s lady!

I had a moment earlier today to see what Olivia’s life was like outside of working at Lulus.com:

Olivia is originally from San Francisco (my favorite city in the U.S) and she moved to Chico to attend Chico State University. At Chico State she is studying English Literature. Olivia’s favorite food is Thai food because she is an avid vegetarian.

On her free time Olivia can be found breaking hearts around town with her best friend, Kyndrah (below is a pic of them together), who is also one of our models and who we featured on the blog a little while ago.

And here are a few pictures of Olivia modeling at a fashion show that I thought were especially pretty!

Lulus.com Model Profile!!

Fashion | 22 December 2009

by

We have been doing model profiles and interviews with models from our vintage section, however, we have not yet done a profile on any of the in-house LuLu*s models!

So, I am here to introduce you to one of the first Lulus.com models and one that will be leaving us and moving to LONDON this month! We are sad but very excited for her and (selfishly) can’t wait to get fashion updates from London!!!

Here is Serine…. and she is, needless to say, one of the funkiest and fun models I have EVER worked with! Below are some pics done outside LuLu*s (in my designs) for a little sneak peak into her “real” personality!! Keep posted this week for the newest pictures of Serine in CUTE dresses on Lulus.com!!

Serine was born in Santa Cruz, California. She grew up in San Francisco, and then moved to Chico, California, for high school. During her junior year of high school, Serine got an internship at the LuLu*s Fashion Lounge boutique in downtown Chico.

Soon after she began her internship, the Lulus.com website was launched, and she became one of the online team! Now, Serine does everything from modeling on the site to supervising and coordinating our inventory.

In her time off, Serine travels. Her favorite places are Serbia, Croatia, London, Amsterdam, Bosnia, Switzerland, Greece, and Rome. At the end of this month, Serine is actually leaving us and moving to London. When she gets there, Serine plans to work in the fashion industry.

Pictures were taken by Daniel De Porres and Kyle Delmar.
