Honestly, what doesn’t rivet you about Laura? Last season she walked Jil Sander and Givenchy. She was just lensed by Steven Meisel. She’s under industry titan Louie Chaban’s umbrella at the new Elite New York City. And she’s got heart to back her editorial and runway credentials too. Laura is personable, which made her VERY easy to feel comfortable with both professionally and personally. I felt like I was shooting a friend, not a “business associate” as there is a distinct warm enthusiasm behind not only her actions, but also her words.
