Lala Lopez is a New York native and a multi-disciplinary artist with a focus in digital media. Through the power of the written word, photography, creative direction and video, Lala hopes to spread light and healing to women on their own personal journeys of growth and spirituality.
For the past 10 years, Lala has been creating content for the Internet. Starting her blog Lala NYC in 2008, she focused on fashion reporting and wardrobe styling. Using her platform to share her writing and styling work, she began working with brands like Betsey Johnson, Timberland, Jeffrey Campbell, Solestruck & Steve Madden. Today, her brand work extends to social media, e-commerce and lifestyle photography; creative direction and set/prop styling.
Her personal work has explored much more tender spaces within the past three years, using self-portraits as an examination of the inner life we have with ourselves. Her fascination with Frida Kahlo, the famed Mexican painter, spawned a four part self-portrait series in 2016 called “Frida Kahlo: Digging Deeper” which changed the way that she would create work forever. Vulnerability, purpose and connection is the basis of intention for all the creative work Lala ushers out into the world.
In 2017, Lala opened the digital doors to her first online vintage and sacred goods shop, called Mothball Memoirs. The online store offers the same tools that have allowed Lala to be authentically expressed and achieve balance in her own life. Mothball Memoirs holds IRL pop ups seasonally.
