Christina Lehr

Profile

The daughter of fashion designer Henry Lehr (she got her start when she was a teenager living above her father’s shop), Christina Lehr honors her family’s heritage by imbuing her garments with a European feel. The store is stocked with basic, high-quality pieces—the 100 percent cotton T-shirts, tank tops and dresses come in plain, tie-dye, or striped options, and are all manufactured in Belgium (the matching tiki-and-T-shirt combo is a customer favorite); there are also accessories, including hats and shoes, from friend and collaborator Tracy Watts. Though her pieces have been available at shops like Calypso and Steven Alan for years, the small, elegant Reade Street boutique is her first location. — Jazmine Hughes
