About Lola Haze™ What happens when a Harvard Grad with a pension for Nabakov's Lolita turns lingerie designer? She creates Lola Haze, a whimsical fashion adventure into a world of eclectic glamour, coquettish juxtapositions and global whimsy. The fanciful-yet-seductive contemporary line is marked by designer Laura Mehlinger's signature mixing of fabrics and innovative color combinations – chiffon panels draped over stretch lace, tiered panels of silk charmeuse layered over metallic mesh, mixing in delightful charms & adornments, and unexpected placement of fine lace appliqués and bold cut-outs.

Named after the famous temptress Dolores "Lolita" Haze in Nabokov's Lolita, Harvard grad-turned designer Laura Mehlinger created Lola Haze TM as a lingerie/loungewear/outerwear fusion for the playful, confident woman with a bold, whimsical fashion sense. Produced with love in New York City, Lola Haze™ playwear is for women who like to play in and out of the bedroom. She is a seductress, dresses for herself, and has a bold, whimsical fashion sensibility. Not just for the boudoir, she takes Lola out on the town as a layering piece or stand-alone fashion statement paired with a wow necklace and killer heels. Lola Haze™ takes inspiration from New York City and Prince to art deco architecture and influences across the globe, all of which are infused into the line’s intricate detailing and innovative color and fabric combinations.

Simply put? Every woman with eclectic taste and a love of bold glamour is a Lola girl. Lola Haze TM pieces retail from $29.00 - $194.00 at boutiques nationwide and on the newly launched LolaHaze.com e-commerce.
