Laure Kczekotowska comes from a multicultural background.
In 1998, she launched her first brands: at first under the name « Laure K » for her wedding gowns and « Laure Kczekotowska » for her haute couture designs. Her pronounced taste for arts, cinema and literature influence the spirit of her collections, all of which include her overall contemporary and glamorous style. From 2002 to 2006 Laure K presented her collections within the sphere of the prestigious Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne. She has been involved, for over 10 years, as designer and artistic director for a large number of different projects in advertising, theater, cinema and merchandising.
She is not only a designer , but also a traveler , and an artist of the world , who seeks inspiration from every culture and background. Her brand is a lifestyle- a universe of design, interiors and art. Laure’s work is a glimpse inside her heart, whether it’s through her sculptures, paintings or couture designs.
Currently, Laure is working on multiple art projects as well as her new “Couture” to Wear line. Since July 2011, she again presents her collection during « Haute Couture » Fashion Week .
