Now managing the London office, Lauren is able to utilise her organisational skills alongside her passion for design and creation with the remarkably visionary team at Concepts Paris.
A lover of all things bold, eccentric and daring, Lauren is a diverse designer with a penchant for creating eye-catching colourful prints, lace and embroidery design. Combining her technical knowledge, personal experiences love for erotic dance forms and vintage nostalgia, she creates eclectic and innovative design and is always in pursuit of delicious lingerie and sport combinations.
'The future of lingerie and bodyfashion, feels even more inclusive today, with genderless collections and sizing structures changing, and the increased acceptance of lingerie and comfort wear existing in our everyday outerwear wardrobes. A new generation of designers will continue to push the technical aspect of digital design and as the metaverse develops, we will no doubt see consumer habits adapt to this new frontier'.
