"Fashion designer Lara Parker is a self-made woman. She learned to sew at six years of age. Her first fashion show, at eight, had a 50 cent entry fee, the models were her sisters and cousins, and the catwalk was her grandmother's deck."

"Parker is now one of the new names on the lips of every savvy fashionista. She owns and runs a Lara Parker boutique in Auckland's Newmarket where her sweet dresses and sophisticated seperates fly off the shelves."
