Lara started her design career in the field of architecture earning her B.Arch from a small atelier based school in Boston. After working as an architect for a number of years she found that it lacked the intimacy that she wanted from design, so she took advantage of a scholarship to study fashion in Milan where she earned her MA degree in Fashion Design.

Lara has been fortunate to have lived and studied in several countries and is excited to bring her global experiences back to her hometown of Calgary. She draws inspiration not only from the built environment but also from art and fashion of the 20's and 30's giving her pieces a classic, vintage feel, but with a modern interpretation and fabrics for a funky edge.
