Lavish Living ROCKS The Runway by Jenn Salomon
I recently attended RAW Boston: SAVOR to check out the clothing brand Lavish Living. Thanks to an invitation by co-founder and designer, Jason Sergenton, I was able to get a first look at their collection. I must say, I was very impressed! Lavish Living just released their Fall/Winter collection and showcased their apparel at this awesome event, RAW Boston. For those who are not familiar with what RAW Boston is, it is an event where local artists showcase their new work. This event is filled with painters, photographers, makeup artists, stylists, jewelry designers, singers, and fashion designers.
At RAW Boston was where Lavish Living stole the show! The pieces showcased by this brand included casual wear for both men and women; making this brand appealing to a huge audience. I personally like the comfortability of the clothes. There is a mixture of edginess and comfortable wear. The brand offers jackets, shirts, and even shoes. Check out below some of the new designs seen on the RAW Boston runway!
Outerwear is a big part of this collection. Lavish Living has windbreakers, bomber jackets, and even jean jackets. Jean jackets are coming back in a HUGE way. I am so glad that Lavish Living incorporated this classic into their new collection.
I interviewed Lavish Living designer, Jason Sergenton, and got some great insight on the creative side of the brand.
Interview-
Jenn- What Inspired your brand and how was the process bringing it to life?
Jason- So many influences including family, friends, and just wanting to live a better lifestyle. My business partner Ronald Guinan Jr. and I brought the brand to life in 2013 with hopes that one day this could the only job we need. Both fed up with the jobs we had at the time we needed something inspirational to do and become successful. Tired of wearing other brands and felt we could design better and more comfortable clothes.
Jenn– Why did you decide to choose fashion designing as a career?

Jenn- What is the creative process behind the clothing you choose to use?
Jason- To start, the goal is to give our brand it’s own identity. We like to separate ourselves from other brands. We are inspired by other countries styles and we like to add our own twist.
