1.

FWSD: How did you first get involved with FWSD?

Lauren: I was presenting my F/W 2013 collection during Kansas City Fashion Week, where, coincidentally, Allison Andrews was in attendance.  After the show, I was selling my merchandise when she approached me and encouraged me to show in FWSD. The rest is history!

FWSD:How would you describe your line?

Lauren: It’s funny; Pretty, Polished, Perfect nailed VICTROLA on the head, describing it as “a perfect balance of pure girlishness with a mix of edginess”. That is VICTROLA, entirely. A trendy fashionista meets sex kitten. Gurr, baby.

FWSD: What is your most memorable moment from FWSD 2013?

Lauren: Without a doubt, my most memorable moment from FWSD 2013 would have to be when I was backstage waiting to walk down the runway with my final look. I was standing there with Allison, watching the monitor as my clothes went down the runway, and I just teared up. I had been through a lot, both personally and professionally, leading up to that moment. Seeing my clothes come to life on the runway, was a complete and total “I overcame all obstacles and made this a true success” moment.

FWSD:What has been the most rewarding thing you have gained from being a part of FWSD?

Lauren: I learned a lot about myself and what I am capable of. To keep pushing forward to make VICTROLA a success.

FWSD: What has been the most exciting moment for you in your career following FWSD?

Lauren: 2013 was a whirlwind year for me, presenting in various fashion shows across the country and creating two well perceived collections. I opted to take 2014 as a year to grow my business and get VICTROLA into more stores. At this time, I am currently selling in six stores across the country and continuously looking to expand my brand. In my eyes, as long as I can progress a little bit every year, then I am doing something right.

FWSD: What has been the most memorable/exciting moment in your design career?

Lauren: That’s a tough question, as I am so grateful for the many exciting things that have happened to VICTROLA within the past three years. I think the most exciting moment or moments, rather, is seeing the progress of stores that I have taken under my belt. From one, to three, to six- as much of a struggle it is sometimes, I have to remind myself that I get to do what I love. Three or four years ago, I would have never imagined that I would be where I am today.

8.

FWSD: What advice do you have for designers that are just starting or have recently started their career?

Lauren: Be diligent. Work hard. Trust yourself and always be true to who you are!
