We are delighted to welcome Wilder Botanics to Lan Jaenicke. This like-minded line offers holistic formulations handcrafted from the purest natural ingredients, from steamed distilled Rose Otto to Pink Himalayan Salts to fine French Kaolin clay. We spoke with co-founder, master herbalist, and naturopath Rachel Landon about remedies and rituals to enhance our daily lives and lift our spirits, beautifying us inside and out.
One of our creative through-lines at Lan Jaenicke is collaboration. Most recently, we had the opportunity to work with my friend, artist and designer James Buckhouse, to adapt one of his lyrical abstract paintings into a printed fabric. In our interview, he shares the process, projects, and inspirations that fuel his creativity.
Bundles of lavender suspend from the porch beams of our Sonoma home, drying in the warmth of the sun. Since planting our lavender beds a few years ago, this sublime botanical has become a sensual presence in so many aspects of home and a signature element of the Lan Jaenicke collection.
Summer is ideally a time to release into nature, tend to self-care, and gather with friends. Which part of summer is most joyful and restorative for you? Whether it's the garden, the farmer's market, or anywhere under the sun, here we share eternal joys of the season.
Channeling the glow of summer, our first-ever pieces in Gold radiate energy and confidence. This jewel-like hue punctuates the dramatic black and white story of Series No. 23. Whether taking the billowing shape of our new Dress Coat or the sleek form of the new Custom Bustier, these aureate adornments are the perfect summer statement pieces.
We approach every collection at Lan Jaenicke with a reverence for craftsmanship and a passion for materiality. With Series No. 23, we’re particularly excited to debut two looks in an extraordinary silk, Xiang Yun, crafted through a 2,500-year-old natural dyeing process.
Black and white with touches of gold, the new Series No. 23 embodies powerful, dynamic essences—Yin and Yang, contrast and harmony, geometry and fluidity. Gorgeous hand-pleated dresses, bespoke patterned shirting, and diaphanous skirts, all made-to-order and many made-to-measure, marry strength and grace.
On March 30th we welcomed friends for a luminous preview of Series No. 23, the Lan Jaenicke Spring 2024 collection. It was an inspiration to gather in beauty with our beloved creative community, and to share our new made-to-measure offerings, defined by black and white, with touches of gold.
A new monograph on vanguard ceramic artist Shiro Tsujimura, An Art of Living (Flammarion), debuts March 19th. We explore his deeply poetic body of work, which emanates from a mind immersed in both art and nature.
In 2024, we celebrate Lunar New Year on February 10th. It is the Year of the Dragon, which symbolizes leadership, passion, and confidence. The Dragon is also my own sign, making it a particularly meaningful year for me. As I’ve designed our spring collection, what’s been top of mind for me is manifesting optimism in simplicity.
The de Young's new exhibition Fashioning San Francisco: A Century of Style explores the city's history of chic. We take a closer look at the art and craft of haute couture, its connections with San Francisco, and how that tradition informs our house.
As we begin a new year, we seek clarity and focus before embarking on our next adventures. In this week's Journal, Lan shares how the art of calligraphy guides her heart and hand in calibrating for 2024.
