Lazy Francis Designer Interview
Back in March, I had the pleasure of interviewing Lazy Francis’ Alina Sakhterova who founded this beautiful girl’s brand with her college friend Olga Kruze. Alina shared the Lazy Francis brand ethos: “We wanted to do something special, unique and different. Something kids can wear when they go out, and stand out from the crowd on the street or at a party. The designs in themselves are very elegant. Some critics may say they are for grown-ups, but we believe that’s what makes our designs so different from others.” Lazy Francis has a boutique store in Riga where you’ll find the complete collection, including handmade items by local specialists.
