Rich and earthy tones define the chromaticity of the garments while signature silks, denim, and blazers pay homage the brand’s DNA. Inspired by Californians jet setting lifestyle, the collection provides several looks that transcend both day and evening attire. We spoke with L’Agence CEO, Jeff Rudes, to get the full break-down of their FW19 collection.  ![Look23_JacopoMoschin.jpg](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c346b607eaa09d9189a870/1550099847752-GZ1N1I294347TFADFDOD/Look23_JacopoMoschin.jpg) ![Look24_JacopoMoschin.jpg](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c346b607eaa09d9189a870/1550099841722-6AXWV5NLIUU4O1QURQFQ/Look24_JacopoMoschin.jpg) #block-yui\_3\_17\_2\_1\_1550084908461\_271096 .sqs-gallery-block-grid { margin-right: -20px; } #block-yui\_3\_17\_2\_1\_1550084908461\_271096 .sqs-gallery-block-grid .sqs-gallery-design-grid-slide .margin-wrapper { margin-right: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; } **_What were the key inspirations for this FW19 collection?_** A careful deconstruction of California serves as the seasonal influence, marked by rich earth tones in red stone, spice, and pine.

She has an intercontinental lifestyle and requires a wardrobe that translates from red carpet LA to off-duty Amalfi with ease. She does it all at work, at home and away so she wants to look and feel great while doing it.
