zoey-me-love-you asked: I am a Fashion Design student in the United States and I was wondering how you got into designing lingerie. I really love lingerie because it just makes everyone feel so wonderful, it is so feminine and yet so powerful; which doesn't go together often in our society. I love your illustrations, I am in an illustration class for the first time and am terrible.
Hi!
Thank you for your message. I genuinely got into this quickly and a little by accident. I actually ended up deciding to do lingerie when I realised I had over 80 pairs of knickers and maybe I should make them! and then I did a year long Lingerie class and set up Loulou Loves You straight after. I’d been ill for about 4 years and felt behind in my life and so launched into a business straight away, afraid to lose more time I think.
I’ve taught myself a lot over the past 5 years and for me Loulou Loves You is one of my creative outlets rather than having been an ambition to work in Fashion. I like to make items that I would like to have and what I hope will give people that little bit of luxury. I still design & make each item myself so it’s a very small :)
Thank you too, drawing and painting is probably my favourite thing to do. I’m sure you’re not terrible, I think building up your own style is what comes from lots of practice and experimenting!
I strongly believe in following your dreams & intuition and working hard at things you love.

I feel so happy that one of my favourite artists Caitlin Shearer drew this illustration of the Lola Heart Nightdress for the Audrey Grace (a boutique where Loulou Loves You is stocked) lookbook.
I love it.
