La Ligne x Lily Aldridge Launch 10-Year Anniversary Capsule for IWD

Lily Aldridge stepped back into La Ligne’s orbit as both muse and co-designer for a limited-edition capsule that launched March 3 to mark the brand’s 10-year anniversary and International Women’s Day, available online and at La Ligne Nashville. “Working with La Ligne again for their 10-year anniversary feels incredibly full circle,” Aldridge said. “I’ve been connected to the brand since the very beginning, so stepping into this collaboration as both the face and co-designer has been especially meaningful.”

The collection reads as practical luxury: Modern Luxury and WWD describe a capsule anchored in classic black and ivory with a custom polka-dot print, balancing tailored structure with soft essentials and built to move - polished enough for dinner, relaxed enough for a transatlantic flight. WWD reports retail pricing spanning $125 to $395; La Ligne’s product pages list the La Ligne x Lily Aldridge Vest at $250 and the Lily Scarf at $125.

Names and silhouettes populate the drop with familiar and newly titled pieces. Editorial coverage and photo captions list a Lily Dress, Lily Pant, Aldridge Pant, Aldridge Vest, a Cropped Tailored Vest paired with a Pull-On Cropped Pant, a Silk Camisole, and a Lily Scarf. WWD also notes the revival of the SOS “Save Our Stripes” T-shirt, offered exclusively at the Nashville store. La Ligne’s product copy outlines the Lily Dress in full technical detail: 100 percent silk shell, lining in 100 percent recycled polyester, ivory and black dot print, sleeveless midi length, V-neckline trimmed in chiffon, V-shaped empire seam with delicate ruching, bias cut for movement, fully lined in smooth satin, invisible side-seam zipper and hook-and-eye closure, and dry clean only.

Proceeds from the capsule will benefit Mother to Mother, a Nashville-based nonprofit that connects low-income families with essential resources. Both WWD and Modern Luxury cite the charitable component, though the exact portion or timeframe for donations has not been detailed publicly.

The campaign imagery underlines the collection’s country-to-city narrative: WWD reports the ad campaign was shot at Blackberry Farm in Knoxville, Tenn., and Modern Luxury credits its images “Photo courtesy of La Ligne.” The visuals echo the capsule’s intent to suit a woman who splits her time between New York, Nashville, Los Angeles, and London.

La Ligne’s return to collaboration with Aldridge is also a business moment. The label was founded in 2016 by Molly Howard, Valerie Macaulay, and Meredith Melling; the cofounders are described as having a combined 40-plus years of industry experience. Molly Howard is chief executive officer as La Ligne operates nine stores and prepares to open an additional location in the coming months. Meredith Melling framed the choice plainly: “Lily Aldridge was a natural choice to codesign the capsule as a longtime brand muse and the face of La Ligne’s very first campaign in 2016. As we approach our 10-year anniversary, Lily’s deep, authentic connection to the brand made the collaboration feel truly full circle.”

One editorial inconsistency is the capsule’s piece count: Modern Luxury and WWD call it a seven-piece capsule, while La Ligne’s product copy refers to a six-piece collection. The mismatch appears alongside multiple named items and the Nashville-exclusive SOS T-shirt, leaving the final tally slightly ambiguous in public materials. Whatever the exact number, the drop cements Aldridge’s long-running relationship with La Ligne and folds a commercial moment into a charitable campaign as the brand marks a decade of growth.
