Reformation Taps Laura Harrier for New Collection

Laura Harrier can now add designer to her credentials. The actor has partnered with Reformation on a new collection that draws inspiration from vintage pieces she’s steadily collected over the years, updated with a fresh palette primed for hot summer days spent commuting straight from the office to cocktails on a deck—with a water view, of course.
Reformation reached out to Harrier last December—timely, as she was already considering what her pathway to designing womenswear might look like. “But I always wanted to do it with the right partner, something that felt natural and organic,” Harrier tells Bazaar. “I’ve been a Reformation customer for, honestly, like, over a decade. I used to shop at their store on the Lower East Side, when it was actually mainly vintage, and was obsessed with it.”
Made entirely from deadstock fabric in earthy tones like aquamarine and bronze, the 18-piece collection is designed for women who want pieces they can wear both to the office and for a night on the town, looking and feeling sexy. Standouts include the Charchi miniskirt, which was designed to accentuate the leg without causing unplanned flashing incidents: “I’ve always wanted something that was low-waisted, short, but not too short—you know, you could still wear it and not be too exposed,” Harrier says. The Maddie one-shoulder top, which similarly shows off the décolletage while making sure the wearer’s breasts feel secure, references a vintage piece Harrier has had in her closet for years. “I've been wearing it all summer already, wearing it during the day with a long, flowy white skirt,” the BlacKkKlansman star says. “And then I’ve been wearing it out at night with a miniskirt, so it can really go either way.”
Designing a new collection at a time when the fashion industry continues to wrestle with sustainability, while satisfying restless market demands, is something Harrier doesn’t take lightly: “Fashion is one of the biggest polluters in the world, and I think we can kind of all do our part to help contribute to something that has a longer life, that isn’t made, you know, like in a massive factory with fast fashion,” she says. “That’s part of my love of collecting vintage clothes: supporting something that’s more sustainable.” Reformation, which began by exclusively selling vintage clothing out of a storefront in Los Angeles, has continued to keep sustainability at its core as the brand expands, making the environmental footprint of its products public through a quarterly sustainability report and continuing to innovate in the womenswear category with new textiles like its water-saving jeans, made from regenerative and recycled cotton.
The Reformation × Laura Harrier collection is now available online and in select stores, with prices in the collection ranging from $88 to $578. Shop our favorite pieces below.
