Miami’s own fashion specialist, contributor, and designer, Lauren Ann Wolfe, is both a marvel and delight to those who meet her for the first time. Her own style is at its core minimalist, but her eccentricity would never allow it to remain bare-boned. She marries the everyday-wear with funk, flash, and fine art. Ms. Wolfe’s previous contributions to Miami’s fashion world include styling for Gil Bitton’s Art Basel Exhibit, hair and makeup for Allyson Parker’s Hanger Gallery, and various backstage production and assistance for designers David Jon Acosta-Gold Saturn and Bobby Ray-Khasa Marina.

On March 3, L.A.W. brings to Grand Central her own collection entitled, “Slum Goddess”.  In this collection she shares with us her honest will to do what feels right. Following no fashion criteria but her own, she battles to keep her deep, heavy, mind busy producing twisted designs and visions through leathers, metals and mesh. Worn by deathly muses under a red and white moon-lit catwalk, L.A.W. releases her masterpiece. Co-produced by Wasabi Fashion Kult, and orchestrated by music knight, LLiam Dominic.

Lauren Ann Wolfe, an avid traveler and prolific thinker, derived her main inspirations during her 3 month stay in New York City last summer, “where no one is allowed the peace of an idle mind”(L.A.W.). Her restlessness and committed compulsion to create birthed the first sketches of a collection she describes as, “The naked truth worn proudly” --with the help of her fashion confidant and seamstress, Pandora.

She believes it is a time of liberation and represents our constrictive pasts through the use of haunting masks and spikes, while also presenting the rescued inner self as bare, real and free. 

She collaborates with Ms. Virginia Valere to accessorize models, which include, but are not limited to our own divine nightwalkers: Nicole Kirigin, Kira Alvarado, Leo and Chantel Hover. She hopes to expose a new dawn to her audiences, where the dark and twisted are not afraid to “wear her pieces while howling at the moon” “for they have awoke from their shallow graves and want to roam free into the night”(L.A.W.).
