Laura Liles is a FDS trained creative director with 16 years’ experience in the Australian fashion industry. Having honed her skills for several years as a designer for numerous Sydney-based labels, Laura chose to launch Kinga Csilla in 2017 as a response to the white space she saw in the market.
Kinga Csilla then emerged as a slowly run fashion brand that employs time-honoured, artisanal, and even outdated embellishment and production methods. The purpose here is to bring beautiful, block printed and embroidered pieces to fruition while operating ethically with the labour of local staff and offshore garment workers.
Today her ethos remains much the same. Kinga Csilla exists to create beautiful pieces of clothing in rich colour palettes and precious embroideries, while continually seeking better ways to operate both socially and environmentally.
In this episode, Laura and I discuss:
• Laura’s journey of transitioning as an employee within the fashion industry to founding and creating her own label
• How Laura has overcome challenges in business and in life
• Laura’s creative vision and the process of how she cultivates her ideas and inspiration into fruition
• Laura’s purpose-led mission, and how her own personal experiences shaped the company that she created
• The way that Laura balances motherhood with business
