Raul Lopez Predicts the Future of Fashion
By Luigi Tadini
Inspired by his native South Williamsburg, Raul Lopez's spring collection is an eyecatching
reflection of how gentrification has transformed a neighborhood and its inhabitants. Lopez's newborn brand Luar Zepol -- his name spelled backwards -- proves that a garment, like a neighborhood, can have hidden facets, uses and mutations. A veteran of the cutting-edge line Hood by Air, Lopez has designed pieces for those who share his vision of a future where men show skin, wear skirts and are willing to explore their feminine side. His spring pieces, which
include pants that morph into skirts and backless overcoats, are available through special order at luarzepol.com.
