I caught up with Lis to find out a little more about how the store came about and her views on the fashion industry.
When did you open the store?
Lady and the Punk opened it's doors 5th December 2005
What inspired you to start the brand?
Back then I was a young designer who was stocking other
local boutiques, I just decided that I wanted a place of my own where I could
sell my Clothing and create a brand that was uniquely me and have all the
things that I loved in one store.
I have stocked a few different designers over the years,
I have loved being able to stock and help local talent. At the moment I stock the gorgeous items from
Bianca Kim, Cinnamon, Bianca Warren, Tasha, Baa Baa Accessories and of course
Roxstar bikini's
What do you enjoy most about having your own
business?
I am not going to sugar coat it, owning your own business
can be stressful, there is a lot of pressure as the buck stops with you but I
love the freedom that it offers me and that it is something I created, it all
comes from my passion for fashion. Small
things make me love what I do, just getting a compliment from a customer can
brighten up any day or finding gorgeous stock for the store. It becomes so personal that you have no
choice but to love it.
What is your most enjoyable part of what you do?
I love the buying trips, they are not as glamorous as
people may think but they are very inspiring, just getting to see all the new
trends and ideas and of course the customers excitement when they see the store
fulled with new stock that they love, it makes all the work worth while!
