A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER
Welcome to the LYC Experience
FUN FACTS
-
When I worked at Ralph Lauren Corporation, I had the honor of being one of the few employees who was able to sit in design meetings with Ralph himself and learn directly from one of the most iconic fashion designers of all time.
-
I was also personally hired by Sean Combs to be the Fabric Director for his Sean John Fall 2008 New York Fashion Week show, while also being filmed alongside Sean for the MTV documentary, "If I Were King." See the trailer here.
-
When I worked in New York as the Fabric and Trim Manager at J. Mendel, I had the opportunity to hand-select the sapphire blue silk chiffon fabric for Teri Hatcher's custom made gown for the 2005 Emmy Awards, for her nomination for her role as Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy for Desperate Housewives.

Oscar de la Renta once asked me to create original illustrated designs for one of his New York Fashion Weeks shows, a truly memorable moment. Illustrations coming soon.
Hi, I'm Lisa Springsteel Dupré, and I am the Founder and CEO of Launch Your Collection and the author of the book, Becoming a Fashion Designer (Wiley). I am a 19-year New York fashion industry veteran and have worked at the corporate New York City headquarters of Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs, J. Mendel, Banana Republic, and J. Crew.
My in-house team and I are so passionate about sharing our fashion industry expertise and knowledge with each of our clients while embarking on this most creative launch journey.
