Leona

The 27 year old fashion designer, Lauren Leonard, from Tuscaloosa is all the talk with her fabulous clothing line, Leona.  Started back in 2008 out of her parents home after turning down a job in NYC, Lauren was "so determined not to fail".  She would call boutiques all around the country out of her parents home and tell them about her new line.  She would then pack up her mom's suburban and head off to each boutique with her samples.   Her line is now sold all over the world from Honduras to Chattanooga, TN.  Everything is designed in Lauren's Nashville studio, where she now resides.
