Andrea Lieberman began her career as a stylist in New York City, working primarily in the music industry with hip hop figures such as Sean Combs and musicians such as Jennifer Lopez and Gwen Stefani.[1] Her styling projects included music videos, red-carpet appearances, and music tour costumes.

Lieberman worked with Hollywood stars such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Drew Barrymore, Kate Hudson and Cameron Diaz.[2]

Her editorial styling work appeared in Vogue, Vanity Fair, Elle, InStyle and other publications.[3]

In 2009, Lieberman moved to Los Angeles and debuted her ready-to-wear collection, A.L.C. The brand focuses on "laid-back luxury" with collections consisting of elegant staples and elevated basics.[4][5]

In 2011, Lieberman was accepted into the Council of Fashion Designers of America and the following year, she became one of ten finalists in the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund.[6]

In 2014, the brand launched a line of handbags, which are sold at Saks Fifth Avenue, Barneys, Shopbop.com, and Intermix, among other specialty boutiques.[7]

In March 2015, Emma Watson wore A.L.C. while participating in a Facebook Live event for International Women's Day in which she discussed her work as the UN Women Global Goodwill Ambassador representing the HeForShe movement.[8][9]

In August 2015, Interluxe Holdings, a New York-based fashion and luxury investment firm, acquired a majority stake in A.L.C.[10]

In October 2015, Jennifer Lawrence wore A.L.C. while attending the Handprint Ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theatre with her cast members from The Hunger Games franchise. [11][12]

In 2018, A.L.C. opened its first two retail locations in SoHo, New York and at Palisades Village in Pacific Palisades, California. [13]
