In 2013 self-trained Bogotá-based designer Laura Laurens debuted her label in Paris with a special Capsule collection (SS14) made entirely from a stock of Colombian military fabrics.

Since 2016 she has also been working as the creative Director of New York based brand Carvoe . 

Taking inspiration from her Fine Arts background, Laura’s work is defined by a raw approach, textile interventions, artisanal processes and recycled / eco-friendly treatments, re-interpreting Colombia’s conflict through textiles.

Her collections frequently deal with duality, contradiction and conflict, influenced by the ongoing collaboration with the Emberas trans community artisans and their indigenous heritage.
