About Lara
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 she wanted from her design projects and took advantage of a scholarship to study fashion in Milan where she earned her MA degree in Fashion Design. She remained in Italy after graduating to gain valuable experience by interning with Rosa Aiuto for Bruno Magli.
Upon returning to Canada, Lara launched her womenswear line with her Fall 2007 collection merging both architecture and fashion by using 'inhabitable' spaces to inspire 'wearable' pieces.
Lara is conscientious when selecting materials to incorporate sustainable ones as often as possible and minimizes the shipping impact by producing each collection in Canada. Lara approaches the design of each individual piece as one would for a building: designing for a sustained period of use.
Her collection is available in stores across Canada and later this fall at her Flagship Store and Studio space in Calgary, Alberta.
