Lisa resides in Sherman Oaks with her 2 children and her famous Molluccan Cockatoo, Vargas, named after the sexy pin up girls that inspired her logo. BIOGRAPHY Lisa Kline was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. From an early age, she was interested in fashion and always knew that she wanted to have her own clothing store when she grew up. Lisa began working in retail at 15 years of age and then at 18 went to study fashion design at Syracuse University. While studying there she often traveled to New York City for fashion trade shows and ultimately realized that her true passion was for buying and selling clothes. Upon graduating cum laude, she moved back to Los Angeles and continued to gain retail experience while scouting possible locations for her own boutique. Lisa chose a location with no competition (at that time), known as a quaint interior decorator’s street called Robertson Boulevard. After years of envisioning it, her childhood dream became a reality in August of 1995 when she opened her first store. She always dressed very “LA”, sexy, hip, casual, and fun; this is the premise for her store. Lisa Kline set the tone for what would become not only one of the hottest streets to shop in Los Angeles, but in the country, and after 19 years in business she’s still going strong! With the success of her women’s store, men would often ask, “When are you opening up a men’s store?” In April of 1999 Lisa Kline Men opened directly across the street from Lisa Kline Women. She mentioned, “I needed another challenge, there aren’t as many choices for men as there are for women. Men need help and guidance when they shop and I love to provide that, it can be life changing!” If the laid back attitude, sexy staff, and killer duds didn’t draw in the men, the full bar surely did! The store was such a huge hit that shortly after opening Los Angeles Magazine voted it “Best Men’s Store” in their Best of LA issue and Forbes Magazine voted Lisa Kline Men one of the top 10 stores in the country. A few celebrities that shop the men’s store include: Jeremy Piven, Rob Lowe, Jason Lewis, Jesse Metcalfe, Christopher Lloyd, Shawn Marion, Jason Witten, Kellan Lutz, Barry Bonds, Nickelback, Dave Matthews Band, and Keyshawn Johnson. In the midst of creating her empire Lisa was married in 2001 to Robert Bryson and had two beautiful children, Dylan and Colt. She had always been interested in opening a kid’s store but didn’t really have an interest in kids fashion until she had children of her own. After having a difficult time finding cute clothes for her daughter Dylan, and being pregnant with her second child Colt, she was ready to embark on her next adventure. Lisa Kline Kids opened in September of 2006. Many of her long time © copyright 2011 lisa kline. all rights reserved. lisakline.com women’s store clientele now had children and were able to dress their kids in many of the brands they wore themselves. Celebrities that shop at Lisa Kline Kids include: Denise Richards, Jada Pinkett Smith, Brittany Spears, Tori Spelling, Liv Tyler, and Kate Beckinsale, among others. In 2007 Lisa Kline was nominated Retailer of the Year, as well as presented a Vision Award from the Friendly House. Cosmopolitan voted Lisa Fun Fearless Female, and MR Magazine awarded Lisa the Fearless Leader Award for her Men’s store. Having produced several fashion shows, Lisa created hundreds of cool looks for men and women at venues like the Key Club, Hollywood and Highland and various popular night clubs. Lisa Kline is known for putting brands on the map with her keen eye. She has built up the following brands: Juicy, Joe’s Jeans, Rebecca Taylor, Paige Denim, James Perse, Splendid, Ella Moss, Theory, Cynthia Vincent, Ever, Howe, David Lerner, and Rich & Skinny, and many, many more.

Bravo’s latest attempt to fill the gaping hole left by the departure of “Project Runway” is “Launch My Line,” a reality series that pairs10 professionals who dream of launching their own clothing lines with 10 established fashion designers, with the teams of two competing for both glory (the winning “professional” gets their line launched) and cold, hard cash (the established designer in the pair gets $50,000). The hourlong show’s various permutations and personalities have been rumbled about for months (first under the title “Celebrity Sew-Off”), but on Monday the full cast of contestants and judges was announced, and anyone with even a casual knowledge of the Los Angeles style scene will probably recognize a name or two from the SoCal-heavy list. Twin Canadian designers (in my estimation, that description alone qualifies them for a reality show) Dan and Dean Caten (of Dsquared) are the co-hosts, with local retailer Lisa Kline as one of the judges and Scoop boutique co-founder Stefani Greenfield as the other. Update*[12:27 PM: I forgot to mention that the eightepisode show was shot at several locations right here in the Los Angeles area -- including one challenge shot on Venice Beach.] Eight of the 10 contestants and nine of the 10 established designers currently hang their hats in the Los Angeles area. We’ll spare you the whole list (you can find them all detailed here) but thought we’d point out a couple that caught our eye: fashion scribe Merle Ginsberg, who used to sit a lobbed Louboutin’s distance away from me at Fairchild Publications’ West Coast offices, where she worked for W magazine and Women’s Wear Daily (and is probably the only contestant who has slept with Warren Zevon), and perennial hat-wearing fashion week fixture Patrick McDonald (his bio says he’s known as “The Dandy” to fashionistas everywhere, though I’ve always just referred to him as “the cat in the hat”). Also in the mix are an architect, an event planner, a choreographer, a stylist and a DJ. With that kind of lineup, it looks like the cast could build and launch a viable Los Angeles Fashion Week all by itself. © copyright 2011 lisa kline. all rights reserved. lisakline.com WHoA, is sarah Palin’s stylist Also Paris Hilton’s stylist? October, 2008 - UPDATE: Lisa Kline says not. I spoke with Lisa Kline of Beverly Hills’ publicist, who said that, while she wishes she could take the publicity, it’s not her Lisa Kline. In fact, her Lisa Kline has never even been to Minneapolis, and she couldn’t have dressed Sarah Palin because Lisa Kline boutique doesn’t sell suits. Also, if I wanted, she could suggest some great items from Lisa Kline’s baby store on Robertson for little Trig Palin for my story. So I guess that clears that up. I also just spoke with Jon from Pacifier again, Lisa Kline provided Paris Hilton with the cut-out leopard-print swimsuit she wore in the parody response to John McCain’s ad comparing Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. [Britney’s also a client.] and he’s still pretty sure that the woman he sold Trig’s outfit to looks and sounds like Beverly Hills Lisa in her MySpace video. I guess we’ll wait for the real [sic] Lisa Kline to step forward and accept her accolades from the world’s media. LATER UPDATE: Whoops, never mind? The NY Times’ Caucus Blog reports that they have attempted to contact the Lisa Kline listed on the RNC’s forms. Also, she is Lisa L Kline, while Beverly Hills Lisa is Lisa W Kline. Also, BH Lisa’s publicist Kate reiterated her Lisa’s denial of any involvement. Alright, the Palin The $150,000 Shopper saga has officially taken a turn for the ironic. It’s looking like the stylist who actually did the shopping for the Palin Family was a Beverly Hills celebrity boutique owner who also styled Paris Hilton. And not just any Paris Hilton, but the Paris Hilton who made a parody political advertisement mocking John McCain’s ad that compared Barack Obama to--that’s right--Paris Hilton. After the big Pacifier story this morning, I thought the baby store angle on this Palin thing was over, so I moved some additional research I’d done to my personal blog, greg.org. But then The Pacifier Connection roared back in a big way, and it turns out that our Champion of Small Town America is actually literally a creation of operatives from the GOP and the Hollywood Celebrity Fashion Industrial Complex. Seriously. So check out this still-developing story after the jump. According to the Republican National Committee’s monthly expense report for September, the payee for several of the fashion-related “campaign accessories” receipts included in the $150,000 Palin Shopping Spree is listed as Lisa L Kine of New York City. So far, I haven’t found any such person at the address given. But there is Lisa Kline, whose Google result reads, “Lisa Kline boutique clothing has hot designer jeans and dress shirts inspired by celebrity fashion style. High-end fashion in Beverly Hills...” Indeed, Lisa Kline boutique is on Robertson Blvd, the, Ground Zero [sic] of celebrity fashion. LA/New York, totally different, right? Except that I forwarded this interview video from Lisa Kline’s MySpace to the owners of Pacifier, the Minneapolis baby store. Jon, the co-owner, recognized Kline as the “GOP aide” who he sold Trig’s little outfit to before Sarah Palin’s speech. In an email, he said he’s “pretty sure it’s her! CRAZY!!!” I’ve called Kline’s publicist several times today and am now awaiting her response. [update: in a blog post, the NY Times now identifies the woman in the RNC report as Lisa Kline, not Kine.] © copyright 2011 lisa kline. all rights reserved. lisakline.com http://www.forbes.com/2008/04/30/mens-clothing-stores-forbeslife-cx_nr_0430style_slide_6.html?thisSpeed=15000 in Pictures: 10 best Clothing stores For Men Lisa Kline Men, Los Angeles, Calif.

His non-profit organization, the Bony Pony Ranch Foundation, hosted a fun-filled western round up filled with live music, tasty barbeque, relaxing spa treatments, exotic petting zoos and many more activities for all ages. Dr. Ryan’s foundation is an organization that helps underprivileged and at-risk youth flourish and maximize their potential in a positive and nurturing atmosphere. With a high temperature for the day of 107 degrees, the scorching weather did not hinder the festivities from taking place as volunteer workers and patrons of the ranch provided complementary spray mist, sunblock and covered tents where one could relax and enjoy the festivities. As one entered the ranch, various areas of interest were stretched out in a bazaar-like style. Areas of interest range from a general store that sold various merchandise such as cowboy hats, plush animals, t-shirts all embossed with the Bony Pony Ranch logo to an exotic petting zoo with goats, ostriches, iguanas, pony rides, a California condor and alpacas. The crowd enjoyed a vast amount of barbeque. From Angus style hamburgers to barbeque chicken to tasty side dishes and refreshing drinks, the BBQ Express made sure that everyone did not go away hungry or thirsty. This event would not be complete without a celebrity photo opportunity. Instead of your usual red carpet, the Bony Pony Ranch rolled out the hay, cactus and cowboy hats. Celebrities attending included: Donovan Leitch (HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY ITCH), Lauren McKnight ( UNACCOMPANIED MINORS and FOREVER STRONG), Tichina Arnold ( EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS), Molly Ringwald ( SIXTEEN CANDLES), reality stars Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag (MTV’s THE HILLS), Kyle and Christopher Massey ( ZOEY 101 and THAT’S SO RAVEN), Lindsay Clubine ( DEAL OR NO DEAL) and designer Lisa Kline just to name few. On Bony Pony Ranch’s mainstage, the Deacon Jones Blues Band performed with absolute perfection for the crowd. Their performance provided a bluesy atmosphere that provided the icing on the cake. And if that wasn’t enough excitement for one day, fashion designer Lisa Kline provided a stimulating fashion show with summer appropriate inspired clothing. With hair done by the Kevin Josephson Salon to cowboy boots provided by Boot Star and choreography provided by James Campbell Productions, the Lisa Kline fashion show provided an unexpected and energetic jolt for the afternoon’s event as models stomped the runway with music by DJ Kane. © copyright 2011 lisa kline. all rights reserved. lisakline.com Lisa Kline Honored in MR (Menswear Retailing) © copyright 2011 lisa kline. all rights reserved. lisakline.com When you’re talking about retail boutiques, Lisa Kline is one of the first names that comes to mind. Undoubtedly a leader and innovator, she led the L.A. shopping revolution that is Robertson Boulevard. She helped transform it into one of the hippest shopping streets by picking it as the location of her first Lisa Kline Boutique in 1995. By handpicking much of the merchandise, her devotion and love for clothing is clearly translated whenever you step into one of her boutiques, as well as online. You’ll catch celebrities like Liv Tyler, Jessica Biel, and Eva Longoria shopping regularly at her store…and paparazzi not too far behind. Obviously, Lisa has a pulse on the style scene, and we couldn’t think of a better person to tell us what’s hot (and not) right now! She let us in on what her latest obsessions are…all you have to do is click below to find out! ONE. The Esperanza in Cabo — My husband and I love going to Cabo. The Esperanza is the most amazing, beautiful, and luxurious place. There really isn’t anything more to say about it. TWO. Vargas Girls — I am literally obsessed with the images of Vargas girls. They represent the quintessential woman – beautiful, sexy, and feminine. Every woman should strive to have a little Vargas in them. I scoured flea markets when I was younger, and now I have a huge collection of framed Vargas girls that hang in my office. They really inspired my logo of the sexy mudflap girl. THREE. The Thomas Crown Affair — I love the entertainment, fun and the raciness of this movie. I love that it portrays the high life with tons of glamour and sexiness. FOUR. My kids and my husband — I’m a working mom with an amazing family. My two kids, Dylan, 4 and Colt, 2, are so cute, full of energy and so smart. They are the models on my kids website, too! I couldn’t ask for a more supportive husband, who never forgets to tell me how much he loves me. FIVE. Sexy Clothing — I am obsessed with making women sexy. It is my job. It’s what I do. It’s what I live for. I love making a woman feel confidant and good about herself. Some of my favorite lines that make women sexy are skin tight LnA leggings, Ingwa Malero dresses with sexy cutouts, and Kritik for laid back casual days. Thanks so much for sharing, Lisa!

The new Beverly Hills Lisa Kline store opened last month with a gala celebration hosted by Lisa Kline herself, Samantha Harris (E! News, Dancing with the Stars), and designer Rachel Pally. The new 2,500 square foot store, which is located at 315 S. Beverly Drive (at Gregory), was packed to the rafters with VIP guests, including Hayden Panettiere, Lauren Conrad, Stacy Keibler, Ian Ziering, Cheryl Burke (Dancing with the Stars), Audrina Patridge (The Hills), and many more. Sadly for us, the place was so packed that Ziering and Burke were unable to show us some of their patented Dancing with the Stars moves (not that we didn’t ask them!). Throughout the evening guests enjoyed cocktails sponsored by Belvedere vodka and Chandon champagne, with hors d’oeuvres by Adonis Catering. The huge crowd was no doubt due to the fact that Lisa Kline stores have become so popular in recent years, appearing in everything from E! specials to Queer Eye for the Straight Guy to General Hospital and everywhere in between. This is the fifth Lisa Kline store to open in the Los Angeles area since Kline started the business in 1995 (when she was just 25 years old). In the twelve years since the first store opened, Kline has been credited with building up Robertson Blvd into a celebrity shopping mecca which now includes Ghost, Kitson, and both Lisa Kline and Lisa Kline Men (which opened in 1999). Lisa Kline shops (both online and retail) feature an eclectic mix of designers, including Kline’s own exclusive private label for women and men as well as many others like Rebecca Taylor, Juicy Couture, Tracy Watts, Foley, Cosabella, Ella Moss, Blue Cult, James Perse, Paper Denim and Cloth, Paul Smith, G-Star, Smedley, Theory and Tse. Another great thing about Lisa Kline stores is that celebrities are drawn to them like magnets, so even though you might end up paying a little more, you are almost guaranteed to have a good story once you’re done shopping. If you’re not in the Los Angeles area, you can still get the latest designs worn by everyone here by visiting Kline’s website, at www.lisakline.com. A portion of the evening’s sales benefited the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Above: Samantha Harris, Ian Ziering, and Lisa Kline celebrate the new Lisa Kline Beverly Hills store.

Little did I know it would be the event that would change my company forever!! It was a beautiful summer day in Los Angeles when I had arranged to have an in store event with the famed Lisa Kline Boutique (a trendy boutique on Robertson Blvd. that carries my line, Geftaki Swimwear). We started the event at 12:30 pm, it was a little slow at first and then the Saturday afternoon traffic started to pour in around 1:45 pm. Lisa had hired a model to wear the swimwear for the event, her name was Brittany. She was tall, thin with long blonde hair and the suits looked amazing on her! I was busy for most of the afternoon introducing my self to the customers and helping them find suits that looked best for their body type. Around 2:30 I took a break and stepped out side for a few minutes to get some fresh air. I noticed a swarm of paparazzi in front of Alice and Olivia (a boutique next to Lisa Kline) I asked one of the onlookers who was inside. They said “Paris and Nicky Hilton”. It just so happen to be when my friend Rachel was meeting me at the trunk show. I told Rachel who was in the store next to us. I quickly put some Geftaki Bikinis in a cut little pink bag with our logo on it and gave it to Rachel. Rachel broke her way through the swarm of paparazzi and gave the bag to Paris and said “here, they are swimsuits from the designer”. After and hour passed Paris and Nicky were done shopping at Alice and Olivia. Now there was less paparazzo than before so I was able to get next to Paris and tell her we are having a trunk show at Lisa Kline for my line Geftaki Swimwear and invited her to stop in. I also gave Nicky a bag of Geftaki Bikinis and told her “I want you and your sister to have matching suits.” While it was a brief encounter both the girls were very nice. I was so excited!! Paris who was constantly in the public eye now had some of my swimsuits. I could not wait to see if she would wear the suits we gave her. Apparently she loved the suits that we gave her so much that she went back to Lisa Kline and purchased a few more. She donned Geftaki’s Animal Attraction monokini in a political spoof she during the 2008 Presidential election. The spoof was all over the internet and was seen by over 6 million people!! This one trunk show changed our company forever. © copyright 2011 lisa kline. all rights reserved. lisakline.com us Magazine - Hot Hollywood Power Players © copyright 2011 lisa kline. all rights reserved. lisakline.com AsHtoN KutCHER sHoPs At LisA KLiNE? We just caught hottie Ashton Kutcher at Lisa Kline on Robertson Blvd, but don’t let those shopping bags fool you! The punkster was being followed by a camera crew, so presumably he’s shooting a scene for his new movie Spread. However, we all know that Robertson is paparazzi central, so perhaps he’s doing something for Pop Fiction.

Lindsay was at the Lisa Kline boutique on Robertson Boulevard to promote her line of leggings with two long-legged models, but it went from a great marketing venture to paparazzi mayhem. The front of the boutique became invisible to the hustle and bustle of the paparazzi trying to get a shot of Lohan pretty much treating the two models as props. Take a look at the mayhem below: © copyright 2011 lisa kline. all rights reserved. lisakline.com http://stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com/2006/10/20/hot-shops-lisa_/ We all love Brad’s style –and that he is a concerned dad– so we’re always interested in where he’s picking up his cool, casual clothes. He snagged a couple shirts, including a buttondown from Edun and a henley from Ever, from Lisa Kline Men, which is a fast favorite of other well-dressed guys like Owen Wilson and Jeremy Piven. Lost star Josh Holloway was just in and picked up 575 jeans and an Ever hoodie, (while co-star Evangeline Lilly happened to be cruising Lisa Kline’s womens store down the street). And if you can’t get there in person to shop– and stargaze– check out the great selection on their website (and bookmark it for the guy in your life). COMMENTS The Lisa Kline mens store online has the best guy clothes! Thanks for posting this feature, i am sending the link to all my guy friends and beau. http://www.lisaklinemen.com. So cute about the two cast members from LOST shopping simoltaneously! I will definitely visit the store when I go on vacation to LA. - Joanne Dunn, October, 2006 LEMoNADE MAGAZiNE © copyright 2011 lisa kline. all rights reserved. lisakline.com LisA KLINE KLiNE STORES stoREs LISA Lisa Kline is an innovator in original retail display windows.
