Laura Lanzerotte is a Chicago based fashion designer, focusing primarily on evening-wear and couture pieces. She started her design career at Dominican University where she studied apparel design and apparel merchandising. Her junior year she studied at Paris American Academy completing a summer intensive program in couture techniques. That was where she really fell in love with couture and all of the creative possibilities it could bring to a design. The skills learned in Paris can be seen incorporated in all her collections since. Before the pandemic she would showcase her collections around the city with ArtShow Chicago to bring awareness to social issues.
