“Lora is one of those designers, with a staggeringly imaginative scope, and an amazing ability to continue innovating season after season."

"Lora’s provocative and yet utilitarian design of bags demonstrated an outstanding artist and a rare gift to combine the ergonomic and the beautiful. Her dedication, unique perspective and consummate drawing skills enabled her to develop an ingenious collection. Her unparalleled artistry raised the bar for the other designers involved in the process. I can say wholeheartedly that she was one of the most exceptional and fine designers I have ever worked with. Lora is a truly capable, passionate, risk-taking, deeply committed designer who works harder and with more focus than any American designer I have ever worked with."
Jason Wu

"As the former Men and Women accessories Senior Designer at Calvin Klein, I worked closely with Lora. In my measured professional estimation, Lora is at the forefront of the field of design. Quite simply, I consider her work to be extraordinary. As soon as I got acquainted with Lora’s design portfolio I appointed her as a Senior Designer RTW for my shoes and handbags collection. Lora caught my eye instantaneously. Her aesthetic touch paired with a sense of dedication and accuracy was prevalent and unleashed her astonishing creative potential in extraordinary design solutions. I was captivated by her rare artistic ability to come up with fresh ideas and animate texture and color with a life of her own. Moreover, the years of intense visual arts training had resulted in her designer’s proficiency that molded every item she touched into an artifact."
Sofia SizziCEO Giulietta New York * Former Designer at Gucci, Dona Karan and Calvin Klein Collection

Her creative insight and practical implementation skills which she manifested while creating the collection revealed a deeply perceptive and conceptual mind honed through avid visual design and long-term research in her field of endeavor."

"Lora has shown rather compellingly that she is someone who is constantly pushing ahead with new and creative projects. She has demonstrated her substantial creative and functional design capabilities- which I would say are very substantial- by pushing the limits. Lora can not only conceive original idreas, but she can execute them with surprising skill. Having been around the fashion industry for a long time, I know how amazing this skill is."
Julia MedvedevSenior RTW designer, VPL, Visible Panty Line, NYC
"Lora continues to challenge the status quo on every project that she works with, and shows a remarkably diversified skill set that includes costume design, fashion design, and even educational guidance for her students at the Pratt Institute. It is her nature to take a leadership role in any project that she is involved with, and her bright imagination and commendable discipline allow her to push her work to the highest levels of quality and artistic renown."
Daniel NietoSenior Footwear Designer, Diane Von Furstenberg
"The incredible discipline and dedication with which Lora approaches every project makes her a unique artist who through her aesthetic revelations challenges the conventional status quo of her industry and evidences the need for such rare artists in the highly competitive world of design."
Cay Sophie RabinowitzSenior Editor of Parkett magazine * Founder and editor of OSMOS Magazine * Co-founder of FANTOM Photographic Quarterly * Artistic Director of Art Basel * Faculty member at Parsons The New School for Design and Columbia University
"In short, Lora is a remarkable intellect, and a top-notch designer, who I would easily put at the top of her field. Her work is consistently of the highest quality, and her comprehensive capabilities set her apart as a truly special designer. Not only can she create striking new fashions, but she enriches the talents of anyone willing to be her student."
Jennifer MinnitiChairperson of the Fashion Department at Pratt Institute
"I am very aware that it usually takes many, many years for designers to develop a niche in our field. That Lora has excelled in such a short period of time is resounding proof of her dynamic talent. She has consistently achieved to a degree that is far beyond the average designer. With her unquestionable knack for creative design, I don’t see why she won’t be one of the more respected names in fashion design for years to come."
Sunny LamAccessories Creative Director Derek Lam International, NYC * Design Director Tod’s S.P.A. Italy
"I know that Lora has elicited much praise from industry experts, and rightly so. It is rare to encounter a designer who is ahead of the curve in terms of design. Lora’s designs are extraordinary in this regard, effortlessly fusing complexity with style and beauty. Not many have these rare attributes, as design is a field that is very demanding and difficult to excel in."
Erin Rettig-MechemDirector Footwear Derek Lam International, NYC
"I acknowledged the kaleidoscopic approach to Lora’s design, integrating all her artistic ability and elegantly molding a rich and multi-layered product. Her work manifested precision, cutting edge vision and unbelievable persistence. She truly inspired the others and was the pillar of the entire working process. Her organizational skills augmented her artistic abilities and resulted in a stellar performance."
Amarjit KhalsaDesigner Kors footwear
"Possessing broad general knowledge and a high degree of originality Lora proved to be a promising designer from the very beginning. Her design was innovative and original, fluid and chic. She incorporated organic patterns of nature into contemporary shoes and bags designs, in an attempt to wed the urban and natural. Her patterns of haunting beauty and iconoclast signature have adorned the entire bags and accessories branch of Calvin Klein. Displaying original taste and ingenious thinking Lora soon came to the idea of creating her own clothing line."
