The Signature label, which launched today, is aimed at taking L.L. Bean's classic style elements and giving them a modern look that's meant to be slimmer and hipper.

Creative Director Alex Carleton once worked for Abercrombie & Fitch and Ralph Lauren and later founded the Rogues Gallery line of urban chic clothing. He was then tapped to provide a new interpretation of Bean's classic style elements.

L.L. Bean, the online and catalog retailer, will distribute more than 2 million copies of the 48-page Signature catalog nationwide.
