NYU grad Lyndsey D. Butler founded her label and Lower East Side boutique Veda in an effort to transform leather from outerwear-only to layer-able innerwear, too. For fall, Butler takes her all-leather-all-the-time approach up a notch by mixing in plush furs and luxurious shearlings. In an organic move, she's also introducing in a small selection of functionally sexy handbags. Her signature Max Classic moto-jacket returns—this time in an electric blue soft suede and unconventional tie-dye.
