LC: I wish I could be funny, and I am not one to give advice, but maybe I can inspire the dreamers to make it real, to make it happen. The idea of Landa et Luanda Mode, burst out of mind at a moment’s notice. I had found the perfect spot, the perfect commercial space at BOSL and I went ahead and rented it. I had no designers, only the space, the idea, the belief and a passionate drive. Most amazingly being a newcomer, I had no real contacts and no clout within the fashion world. Still, I went straight to those designers whose work I admired and wanted. One night at 4 a.m., I struck a deal with Anubis and Thera. Lorac was later invited and accepted. I now had three generous, loving, beautiful and amazing artists. This is how a dream comes true and a business was born. It happened to me and it will happen to you....go for it. All you have to do is...BELIEVE!
