Lara Miller

Biography

Lakeview East — Born and raised in Chicago, Lara Miller’s work is strongly influenced by the city’s architectural and cultural landscape. Her modular and endlessly variable designs are created with a playful geometry that connects to the personalities of the women who wear them. Both joyous and sophisticated, Lara’s work has attracted acclaim across the U.S. and recently in the UK. At the personal request of Mayor Richard M. Daley, she serves on The Mayor’s Fashion Council where she has helped bring the CFDA to Chicago and established the Macy’s Chicago Fashion Incubator program. All of Lara’s pieces are hand made in Chicago from 100% sustainable organic materials including vegan silk, hemp, and bamboo. Her line is carried in stores throughout the United States and is represented by The Four Hundred, New York’s first showroom exclusively dedicated to sustainable design.
