LOOKBOOK: CLOTHESLINE

If Buster Keaton and Diane Keaton made a pair of perfect pants...

The child of Mexican immigrants, designer Diaz (no last name) grew up watching old silent movies on her parents VCR.  But after moving from Colorado to Los Angeles, she realized she'd loved more than just their images - she also loved their style.

Maybe it's no surprise then, that her small collection - simply dubbed Clothesline - boasts wide-legged pants clearly inspired by the painter silhouettes of '20s movies.  Made from organic twill, they're unique without being weird, and classic without being boring.  They also come in jumpsuit form, for those who have major "what do I wear with these pants?" anxiety.

You can place your orders with Diaz on her website, and don't forget to also check out her organic t-shirts - they're just as cute.
