I know about DKNY, Calvin Klein etc., but some of the other designer names I am not so familiar with. I bought two pairs of jeans recently by Larry Levin Petites and was surprised to get home and find out that my number one favourite pair of RPL dress pants were also Larry Levine. When I google a designer name like that to learn more about them, I just get ads for overstock.com and whatnot. Am I missing key search words or is there some sort fo fashion wiki out there?

Larry Levine.... not a "top notch" designer but I like him never the less... I have SEVERAL RTW suits by him and a trench coat or 2.... his clothes are found at places like Macy's but not in the same section as some of the others....

Larry Levine clothes are in the "affordable" category.... his jeans would run less than $50 whereas other designers would he $150+

I ran into the same problem when trying to find out more about Larry Levine, lol. I still don't know really know anything about him/the company, but LL pants seem to fit me better then any others I have tried recently. The finish quality is also exceptionally good.

Larry Levine has been around for a few decades. I used to wear that company's blazers back in the 1970s.

this brand has been around for a long time. I doubt that it is designed by a Larry Levine.

That is what I was suspecting, which is why I added the company part also, lol. For some reason, I have only recently started seeing the brand in my area.
