cute!

Thanks for the interview! Love her designs!

Wait. “What made you want to design?” was part of the Proust Questionnaire? I didn’t realize Marcel was so into fashion.
Her least favorite noise answer was very funny.

Aw.. she’s adorable… so down to earth!
It is so nice to see a designer who actually have the technical skills – sewing & pattern making. Bravos!
:))
One complete thou… my friend & I both bough a pair of Abaete flats… they are so narrow that we won’t able to feel our toes at end of day! I have narrow feet!!!!! Cute shoes but painfull :P

hey! i just bought one of her dresses at bergdorf!

I love this line. It is quite possibly perfect. The dresses are smart and sexy at once.
Laura ran a killer sample sale this year. I went in for one dress and I walked out with SEVEN. They were just all that good (not to mention affordable).
I can count on one hand the number of times I buy pieces in multiple colors, and this was one of them.
The quality of the materials and finishing is beautiful. The patterns are just marvelous. Everything sits just so and STAYS even though the materials are light.

i spoke to laura at the coterie show in february and she said that her fall collection will have tougher details like exposed zippers and metal. excited to see it! she’s super sweet, too.
oh, and revolveclothing.com has some cute abaete dresses on sale too. http://www.revolveclothing.com/brandpages/Abaete.jsp
