Laura Dawson- "I started my clothing line in 2002 when people in new york started trying to buy clothes off of my back while i was walking around downtown. It has been a worldwide phenomena with my unique and beautiful fans ever since. I studied fashion at DAAP at the university of cincinnati. the collection is always fresh and focused on innovation in silhouette and beautiful materials. I focus on a person who is spirited, imaginative and of the creative class. we are all as old as we are in our minds. I love street style. Many amazing people have worn my clothing, including but not limited to: the scissor sisters, moby, Courtney Love, the dixie chicks, the pussycat dolls, m.i.a., Why?, Vietnam, Beans, the Brazilian girls, Ben Kweller, Lily Taylor, Scarlet Johanssen.
