Paris. London. Rome. Baton Rouge.

Paris. London. Rome. Baton Rouge. Yes, your next piece of stylish
designer clothing might come from right here.


South Louisiana is known for food and music and other artistic
and creative cultural expressions so perhaps it’s surprising that
we’re not known for our clothing designers. With so much
inspiration to draw from, meet the crestive forces behind two
local clothing lines. 


Dave Duncan is co-owner of Jack Duncan Design, a sustainably made
menswear brand that creates shirts for the everyday man. Dave
founded and runs the company with his wife Brittany Tubb Duncan,
who shares his passion for finding unique prints and has her own
brand, Itty by Bitty, which provides children’s options in the
Jack Duncan prints.


Dave and Brittany founded Jack Duncan Design in early 2023 and
currently operate out of their home study and shop in mid
City. 


Paula LaFargue is owner and designer at the Maybe Collection, a
Baton Rouge-based business that also uses ethical practices to
make comfortable, functional women’s garments that have minimal
environmental impact – and they’re also beautiful and affordable.


Paula started the company in 2016 after spending 10 years
designing clothes for nursing moms, children and utility workers
– not all at the same time. She is a a native of Baton Rouge who
attended the Fashion Institute of Technology and cut her teeth in
the fashion industry in New Orleans and Chicago before returning
home in 2009.


Paula is a returning guest on this show. We last spoke during the
pandemic, when we were remote on Zoom. Since then, the Maybe
Collection has grown. 


Out to Lunch is recorded live over lunch at Mansurs on the
Boulevard. You can find photos from this show at
itsbatonrouge.la.
