Fashion Function - Out to Lunch - It's New Orleans

Published: Sept. 6, 2018, 5 a.m.

b'For a number of years now we ve talked about New Orleans as a great place to start a business. But we ve learned it s not such an easy place to take a startup to the next level. When the business you re starting up is not technology, but you re actually manufacturing a real world product, it becomes even more difficult. Jaime Glas seems to have defied the odds. Jaime started a manufacturing business. She s based out of New Orleans. And her company is doing great. Jaime s company is called Haute Work. She makes industrial flame resistant clothing for women. If that s one product you would never have thought of inventing, Luke Hooper has a bunch more. Everything from a whole new version of chess, to baked goods, and a new way of keeping your shoes on your feet. Luke has a company called Factor 10 Design, where they take original ideas and turn them into commercial products. Photos over lunch at Commander s Palace by Jill Lafleur.
