"Nude" was chosen for its connection to the ideas of authenticity and fearlessness, "Black" embodied the reinvention of oneself and the molding of one's own character, and "Color" epitomized the breaking of rules and exploring new possibilities of personality. To further emphasize this commitment to individuality and expression, LORD & BERRY invited a diverse coteries of models to help portray the brand's identity and to highlight the fact that beauty does not conform to any one type.
