LIFE OF VICE

Sui generis (Latin: /ˌsuːi ˈdʒɛnərɪs/) means “of its own kind”—something unique, one-of-a-kind. This philosophy shapes everything we do at Life of Vice.

We believe in clothing that evolves with you. Our pieces are thoughtfully designed with modern cuts, crafted from all-natural fibers, and made to be worn and loved—growing more beautiful with every wear. We embrace slow fashion, creating timeless designs that reflect the beauty of imperfection and the art of living in the moment.

Founded by artist and designer Stephanie Villalobos, Life of Vice is born from her passion for handcrafting. By creating each design in-house—a nearly lost art—Stephanie infuses every piece with intention, care, and a commitment to the high quality her clients have come to expect. Her garments are hand-dyed, meticulously sewn, and made-to-order, ensuring that each item is as unique as it is personal. This process restores the relationship between the maker and the consumer, a connection often lost in today’s fast-fashion world. Each piece is signed and numbered, offering a direct connection to the artist and transforming your garment into wearable art.

Sustainability lies at the heart of everything we do. By crafting made-to-order pieces, we minimize waste and prevent excess inventory from ending up in landfills. Stephanie works exclusively with 100% natural fabrics, incorporates recycled materials wherever possible (like in our OOAK collection), and repurposes fabric scraps while recycling dye water.

Instead of following the traditional seasonal model, we release our collections in real-time, allowing us to grow and adapt organically. Our pieces are not bound by fleeting trends—they are designed to live with you, offering comfort, individuality, and quality in a world of mass production.

LOV CURATED

In line with our dedication to sustainable, well-crafted design, we’re proud to offer LOV Curated—a carefully selected collection of rare and distinctive pieces sourced from both vintage and modern designers. These garments have already had a life of their own, and through LOV Curated, we celebrate their continued journey. Each piece is chosen for its unique character, quality craftsmanship, and timeless appeal, giving it a second chance to be loved and worn.
