Laure Heriard Dubreuil is the Founder and Creative Director of The Webster, a multi-brand shop known for its high concept design and inventory of the best designers in the world — from Chanel to Balenciaga, to Bottega Veneta and The Row. Laure grew up in Cognac, France and moved to Paris to work in fashion merchandising — working under Nicholas Gesquiere at Balenciaga and Yves Saint Laurent under Stefano Pilati.
In this conversation, Laure shares how travel has played a fundamental role in both her professional and personal life — from the weekend trip to Miami that prompted the creation of The Webster, and to trips around the world which inspire the design of the store and the collections of her clothing line, LHD. Laure speaks about how art and design have played a fundamental role in the artistic direction of The Webster, and how she's navigating retail in a post-pandemic world.
