Lauryn Flynn to start fashion company with Sean Avery

Lauryn Flynn, Calvin Klein's longtime director of celebrity services, has left the company. A spokesperson for Calvin Klein confirmed that Flynn's last day was Monday. No replacement has been named.

The buzz is that Flynn left to start her own fashion company with best friend--and New York Ranger left wing--Sean Avery, who is interning at Vogue this summer. The two have recently incorporated their company name and will work as celebrity stylists.

Avery, meanwhile, will continue on with his career as a professional hockey player. "We want to get it back to the point where girls don't worry about what Us Weekly says," said Avery. "It's about expressing individual style and just wearing what's cool. I'm totally consumed by fashion. We want to help them bring their individuality back."

The photogenic duo were recently profiled by Marie Claire for its April issue under the heading "Cool Guys Talk Fashion," where Flynn trend-tested a Calvin Klein sack dress. "It's not Lauryn's style, which is early-'90s Seattle grunge," Avery concluded. "But it totally works with her signature battered biker boots."

In her tenure at the iconic American fashion house, she helped land the designs of Francisco Costa on the backs of everyone from the Olsen twins and Sienna Miller to Elle Macpherson and Scarlett Johansson. Most recently, Eva Mendes has been a house favorite, and a trio of Sex and the City stars--Chris Noth and David Eigenberg among them--all donned Calvin Klein Collection suits to the New York premiere.
