Fashion designer Kevan Hall pauses for a picture at his “Luxe Leisure Collection” haute couture atelier in West Los Angeles Thursday, March 18, 2021. Fashion retailers and designers had dramatically shifted their offerings more toward casual clothes and away from dressier items since the pandemic. A year ago, Los Angeles-based fashion designer Kevan Hall quickly moved away from his trademark gowns and cocktail dresses to caftans, tunics and pull-on pants. Now Hall is adding back some dressier looks, but he’s eliminating the full skirts and scaling back the beading in favor of simple gowns and dresses in knit and tulle fabrics.
