Born and raised in the idyllic bastion of classic American chic Lake Forest, Illinois, home of Jean Harlowr’s all girl prep school and where F.Scott Fitzgerald turned socialite chasing heartbreak into the priceless inspiration that fueled The Great Gatsby, Wren designer and founder Melissa Coker’s ascension to helming her own line was the fruit of over a decader&squo;s worth of materialized dreams in East and West Coast fashion industries. Wren was founded in 2007, and named after Jenny Wren, a winsome little creature who makes dresses for dolls in Dickens’ Our Mutual Friend. From the beatific lost girls of British photographer David Hamiltonr’s lens to the indulgent Angeleno culture of the Sexual Revolution era ingenues in Shampoo. In the end, these are emblemized in the line’s air of free-spirited exuberance, restrained elegance and low-key sophistication.
