Lena Dunham’s First Foray into Fashion Design Involves Sunrises and Bears Eating Pudding




In terms of clothing, Lena Dunham has never been one to shy away from anything eye-catching, let alone any bold, graphic motif (just see her Bill Murray-adorned tee and stockings, floral video series dress, and Italian vacation ensemble). So it should be met with no surprise that when the Girls actress decided to try her hand at fashion, the lady started with prints. Dunham and designer Erin Kleinberg have collaborated in three prints for the spring/summer 2015 collection of Kleinberg’s eponymous label (available mid-February), and they are just as cheery as the star and designer themselves.

Kleinberg, who relaunched her line with the fall/winter 2014 collection, says she had been thinking about reinvention and evolution when she and also Dunham were introduced by a mutual friend. “To me, Lena is totally stimulating, ” the designer tells InStyle. “Such a breath of fresh air and these days I have been so inspired by girls who are inspirational beyond just style. ” Kleinberg asked Dunham how she would feel about working on some prints (the brand’s first-ever custom ones), and the rest is history.

As for the process of creating the designs, it’s no surprise that the super-talented Dunham was a natural. “Lena called out a few abstract concepts that she’s recently been obsessed with lately: The idea of being awake at sunrise, reading books in bed, angry contains, and those bears eating pudding snacks! ” Kleinberg says. “Our team got so much fun taking that vague list and fusing it with our everyday EK principles and watching the concepts come to life. ”
