Suit Up, Ladies: Laura Pitharas on Defying Gender Norms in Fashion
b'
Despite working hard at school, Laura Pitharas was rejected from Leeds College of Art being told that she was "not creative enough". She says it was the biggest test in life that she ever took.
Nevertheless Laura's resilience and willingness to listen meant that she eventually got a place to study Menswear Tailoring at the London College of Fashion. Since then Laura has set out to create a new space for sustainable womenswear luxury fashion, where the craft of design combined with the beauty of women could be celebrated. She now owns her own self-named fashion brand, which is about to be taken to London Fashion Week 2023.
