Ep. 315: Meet Laina Rauma – the fashion designer on everyone’s moodboard!

<p>My latest guest is the brilliant fashion designer Laina Rauma, someone I first interviewed back in 2015, when I had a blog.</p><p>Remember those?</p><p>I remember when I first followed Laina because she had and still has, this amazing editorial eye and she&#39;s always seemed to be able to predict what was coming next, years in advance.</p><p>I wanted to interview Los Angeles-based Laina again because so much can happen in a decade and I wanted to just find out how she’s getting on because she is one of those rare independent designers that manages to do it all; create amazing pieces, build a thriving business, create social media content to promote her work all while being a human being existing in a world that has these major ebbs and flows.</p><p>In this episode Laina shares on an early loss that inspired her to leave Vancouver, Canada for Los Angeles with just her sewing machine. </p><p>Let me know what you think of this episode; you can leave a comment if you’re listening on Spotify or reach out to @thecharissereport on Instagram. </p><p>Also be sure to follow Laina <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lainarauma/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><strong>@lainarauma </strong></a></p><p>Don’t forget I’ve also got a newsletter and you can subscribe for free at thecharissereport.substack.com and be sure to find me on Instagram and Youtube! </p><p>WHERE TO FIND ME</p><p>Substack: https://thecharissereport.substack.com</p><p>Threads: https://www.threads.net/@charisse_kenion/</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charisse_kenion/</p><p>TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@charissekenion</p><p>Check me out on ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/beautyme</p><p>Business inquiries: info@charissekenion.com</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
