Lara Gallardo, native from San Juan, Puerto Rico, is the designer and brilliance behind the Laradiva Brand. Laradiva was born in New York City in 2001 out of the love for fashion, creativity, travel, adventure and making people happy and feel beautiful.
She graduated from the prestigious Parson's School of Design in New York. While living in the Big Apple she honed her creative eye while working with famous designer, Ralph Lauren, in the Women's Wear Collection. Soon after she was the right hand of famed photographer, Robert Whitman, where she developed a high sense of negotiating skills and a keen eye for art and commerce.
Gallardo is known for having lots of fire, passion, strength, being a risk taker, and having a zest for life. She is the woman that is capable of celebrating her Birthday all year long, she is that girl that has a fashion sense that others admire, and a whole lot more. That is why her friends and her colleagues know her as Laradiva.
Her unique and exquisite designs have caught the attention of many fashion magazines, major retail stores, museums and celebrity clients. Her designs come from all her adventures and obstacles from her life, which brings her to where she stands today. After 14 years of living in NYC she has decided to relocate herself in Miami to raise her boy, Sacha Gabriel, while constantly traveling the world for inspiration.
