About Lauren Dickinson Clarke

Lauren was born in a small English town where she enjoyed drawing from an early age. Even as a child, her sketches revealed a range of imaginative, dreamlike scenarios. Seduced by the obscure and the beautiful, Lauren studied fashion design where she trained in the discipline of hand-crafting. She was soon recognized for her creative talents and accepted apprenticeships with renowned fashion houses; Mary Katrantzou and Hussein Chalayan. Before long, a revered position at Alexander McQueen had beckoned. Here, Lauren flourished and practiced the art of telling stories through objects and garments. Lauren was inspired by the transformative qualities of beautiful clothes. She would watch designers mix and match different garments to create a look so sublime it could only be compared to art. Lauren wondered if this same interactive, artistic experience could be applied to objects in the home. After all, shouldn't art and dreams be part of everyday life?

And so, with a pen in hand and a dream in her heart, she continued her quest to create beautiful objects that would elevate any room into a whimsical, artistic experience. After months of drawing, drafting, deliberating and dreaming (and countless cups of tea), her first creation was finally born and she named it; La Création de Madame.

"This is the product of my obsession. It is conceived through imagination, dedication, surreal dreams and themes, craftsmanship, drawing and an endless desire to create objects of wonder. I hope you enjoy this artistic experience as much as I enjoyed creating it for you." Lauren x
