Sonya Soltes dedicated her first collection of laziness – the state of minimal resistance to reality, which sometimes gives rise to ideas that are brilliant in their simplicity. She was inspired by the unhurried rhythm of Los Angeles, where Soltes often finds herself on the set. Hence the name of the collection – LA-LA-LAZY, by analogy with the Oscar-winning musical with Emma Stone in the lead role.
