Plain. Please.
Longtime Malibu local Keely Jensen really understands that the livin’ is easy in Malibu – but not everyone is easy to please.
That is especially true for the number one wardrobe staple in every Malibuites closet – the singularly sensational pair of sweats.
With an in-depth knowledge that not all sweats are created equal, the former wardrobe stylist quickly noticed a void in the market for high-quality sweats that could withstand the Malibu’s coastal casual lifestyle.
Jensen, who studied fashion design at the prestigious Studio Bercot in Paris, went on to an illustrious career for publications such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, Allure, and Marie Claire. This experience made her very aware of the fact that most of what looks great in print doesn’t translate to the lifestyle of the actual buyer.
That also pertains to the coveted selection of comfy sweats…and Plain. was born.
