Lauren grew up with both parents in the fashion industry. In this interview, which was also live streamed into the Motto Fashions Facebook group, Lauren talks about how she grew to 'hate' Motto as a young woman after years of having to hang around in the factory while her Mum and Dad finished work. Always a bit rebellious, in year 9 she was asked to leave her school after disrupting classes and forming a bit of a posse with some of the other girls. Her parents told her that she had to find another school on her own if she wanted to continue. Lauren applied for, and was accepted into a wonderful school where she really enjoyed herself as much as possible!
Following school, Lauren started a small business where she embellished clothing with jewels before her parents invited her back to Motto to look at the online business. At that stage, very few fashion labels were selling online, and Motto only had about 15% of its sales coming from the website. Luren changed all of that. She describes what it was like during the pandemic, and how they managed to keep going, turning online sales into 85% of the business. These days they have a huge online fan base (and their customers are really like fans!) and they run live sessions on Facebook every day. Lauren is just such a hard-working and inspirational woman, you will love this episode
