STORY TELLER

Story Teller…


First signs of being a young Fashion Cool Hunter when I was a little girl at primary school.

I loved invite youngster to my house and transforming their style.
Was a funny serious game for me, improve their look, changing their total image.

Starting from beauty treatment, continuing with hairstyle and ending with a good outfit. I was also playing with some big piece of fabric, draping them around their body trying to create new shapes and interesting garments.

...Was from that moment that my mum noticed my passion and innate skills in wanting to improve women’s image and style and she suggested me years later to begin fashion studies.

 In that moment, when I heard that suggestion, I found myself in perfect alignment with my mission, my mind started to dream and my fashion path begun.
I started my Fashion studies at the age of 16 with my first tailor course as hobby and moved to Rimini 3 years later to join part of Bologna University: Techniques and Culture of Custom and Fashion BA H. course, I wanted to study fashion but having an open culture and view and it was just a perfect choice. My last year of studies I started to work as intern assisting Andrew Mackenzie high end designer for a while, it was as the beginning of my dream, Milan catwalk and all the work behind involved.
Meantime I finished my studies in Rimini and decided to move to London to start some courses where some of my fashion guru as Galliano, Stella McCartney and Phoebe Philo did study “ St. Martins College of Art and Design”.
I did a couple of course there and also to London College of Fashion, meantime I started to design on computer and to work as freelancer designer between Italy and UK. My last jobs made me also travel to China and Far East to develop collections.
Has been all a continuing growing experience.

Slowly I reflected myself in a future vision of being a representative icon, avant-gardist just being myself delivering to an audience: 
simple elegance, sophisticated innovative and unique style, enlightening my vision to the world.

I believe that my vision of beauty and fashion reflect my own origins, my land of Campania in Italy and Phartenope; nature, lightness, beautiful simplicity, elegance femininity mixed with my nowadays Londoners daily living, an intense artistic social life, made of travels, music, positive vibes, great people and never stopping curiosity in discovering the new, start here in London in 2011 my brand LG opening its door to the public only beginning with a T-shirt collection but planning much more to come… all to be see and discovered.

Femininity starts transforming the idea of the t-shirts basic unisex object   in something girly , timeless,  sensual and jolly item  in your wardrobe.

Combining art and fashion giving a birth to something unique.
I decided to print my fashion illustration, my art, on a white t-shirt as a white canvas, using high standard material and process to offering to the market a luxury basic item cared in all little details.

My fashion dolls, intangible tools to process my creation, through them I can see art coming alive, idea making its move… Pure and impure, clean and dirty, arty and chic, feeling and believes, this is fashion for me!

Each illustration is a character with his own name.  This represent a reflection of my actual believes mixed with my Italian culture.

 Laura, Giulia,  Carolina, Merlina, Lorena, Dalia,  Sonia, Lulu’, and a limited edition  ( just 50 pieces) that reflect the  main 2 models at the launch party of the brand.
Each of them represent a different kind of woman and different woman day mood.
Why this colours? Everything has got a meaning:
White for the background, means light open space to decorate,
Black strong defined rock stylish and timeless, like my style
Red The most emotionally intense passionate feminine and sensual, love color, red stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing.

Each piece is made in the UK, fair wear (ethical trade and justice for workers) and confidence in textile (tested for harmful substances), using 100% luxury cotton, with screen-printing illustration. The kind of garments you continuously rediscover, creating different outfits every season. Timeless pieces you will want to wear again and again.

Good designs are timeless and my t-shirts, I hope, will become like your favorite vintage Chanel bag or LVB - a fascinating fashion piece that you continuously rediscover, styling it with every season’s changes.


Last 70 pieces of 650 LauraGalasso t-shirts limited edition collection are available to buy in British and American online boutiques and selected London stores.
My actual job apart LauraGalasso is as Senior Fashion Designer at the Italian brand Fornarina, that I ladore, since it was one of my favorite teenager guru.


I am a dreamer I love surreal world, Music, Art, Architecture and all that involves creativity.
My favorite photographer Tim Walker, Film director Xavier Dolan from Montreal, band of the moment many hahah but one of them Marie Davidson, Coves, Cold Cave, St Vincent…. Favorite art surrealistic and conceptual Dali, Frida Khalo and many more…
I love food and try new cuisine a weak point for Korean, Japanese, French, Italian..
Fascinated from  Korean culture, language and fashion.

One of my last project apart the launch of a mini total look collection is to open up LauraGalasso Brand to the Music world since music is one of my passion and part of my inspiration.
I will start to organise music event and gigs in London discovering and supporting young talents from UK and not, giving opportunity to both to get to know each other. Enjoy this experience and follow us on our Facebook page.
